Working with Dr. Dietrich Hoffmann at Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute, said Dr. Wynder, he has found in the tar no fewer than 17 hydrogen-carbon compounds of the polycyclic group (i.e., with several carbon rings in the molecule). Nine have been exonerated, but to the six already known to produce cancer on the backs of mice the Wynder-Hoffmann team has added two more-3.4-benzfluoranthene and 10.11-benzfluoranthene. But these chemicals occur only in minute quantities in cigarette...
...assurances from Captain Frank S. Siwik, 50, that there was no great danger. Siwik, master of Santa Rosa since her maiden trip last year, directed emergency work from the bridge, ordered fire fighters into the paint locker, radioed the Coast Guard for aid (a Coast Guard helicopter dropped extra carbon dioxide fire extinguishers). Siwik kept his ship's prow stuffed into the tanker's big gash, enabling his own crew to help fight Valchem's fire, facilitating the transfer of Valchem's 17 injured seamen to his own ship's hospital. For more than...
...pulled taut, and Neil Moss moved 18 in. upward, then got stuck fast again. His breathing stopped, and the rescuers had to slacken their chest hold until respiration started again. Another man, John Larson, spent 1½ hours unsuccessfully trying to budge Moss's right arm. "The carbon dioxide fumes make you lightheaded," he said, "and you think you see elephants and fairies...
...croplands. Another is a plan to exploit 200 million tons of 55.6%-grade iron ore found twelve years ago south of the Negro River. The government has also approved plans by Houston's Butadiene & Chemical Corp. to invest $40 million for three big petrochemical plants for synthetic rubber, carbon black and butadiene gas near Comodoro Rivadavia, plus another $17 million for an aviation-gasoline plant...
...Heller's method was to set up a pulsed electromagnetic field (80-180 pulses per sec., 27 megacycles) between electrodes. When he put tiny bits of iron, carbon, silver, oil, fat, starch or mammalian cells on a glass slide between the electrodes, he found that any asymmetrical particle promptly turned so that its long axis lay along the lines of force. Groups lined up Indian-file, like iron scraps between magnetic poles. Microorganisms such as bacteria or protozoa were forced to travel in similar paths; they resumed swimming normally at random only when the power was turned...
