...underground" programs superimposed on the official slate meant that we suffered perhaps 80-odd speakers where half that number might have better served. Probably we could have done without contributions made by the circulation manager for a Boston tabloid, the biologist who touted a miracle bug-killer (in which, it developed, he held some proprietary interest), the Time-Life poobah who saw no First Amendment dangers in newsmen being required to surrender their notes or tapes to Big Brother's agents in Washington, or the faculty-tie who severely lobbied in behalf of Foundations remaining untaxed despite those many abuses...
...Ridge Associated Universities, Biologist Raymond L. Hayes and Physician C. Lowell Edwards have given Ga-67 intravenously to 84 patients. At first it shows no selectivity between normal and tumor tissues. But after 48 hours the concentrations are enormously different in diseased and healthy areas: 10 to 1 for some blood cancers, and as high as 100 to 1 in muscle cancer. Ga-67's spectrum of cancer selectivity is probably the widest of any radioisotope...
Enlarge GM's Board of Directors from 24 to 27 seats, adding three representatives of the public. The group's candidates were Betty Furness, President Johnson's special assistant for consumer affairs; Rene Dubos, a University of Chicago biologist and environmentalist; and the Rev. Channing Phillips, a civil rights leader in Washington...
...global population growth. But the annual world catch-now about 60 million metric tons-cannot continue growing indefinitely. In fact, such sea staples as California sardines, Northwest Pacific salmon and Barents Sea cod -not to mention the beleaguered whale -are already rapidly dwindling. Contrary to the myth, Fisheries Biologist William Ricker recently warned, in a National Academy of Sciences report, the sea is not "a limitless reservoir of food energy...
...future, experiments in aquaculture will become even more dramatic. Japanese scientists have already proposed raising tuna-a fish that can reach a weight of several hundred pounds -in closed-off atolls and lagoons in the Pacific. Indeed, the open sea itself may be "ranched." Columbia University Marine Biologist Oswald Roels is now exploring a "fertilizing" scheme in which a seagoing dredge would bring up nutrients from the depths, distribute them near the surface to encourage the growth of plankton, and harvest the fish that might then thrive in the area...
