...bicycle long enough for angina to develop. Then they rested, smoked one of the cigarettes, and exercised again. After a pot smoke, angina occurred in half the normal time; the heart rate went up from about 72 to 100, blood pressure from 120/81 to 130/86, and the level of carbon monoxide in the blood increased markedly. Few known angina patients may take to pot, but there are many more potential victims who should be forewarned...
Allergy Treatment. At the hearings, former staff members testified about Green Valley's various treatments. They said that Dr. William Philpott, a consulting psychiatrist who practices in South Attleboro, Mass., believed that mental disorders stem from allergies. He tried to treat the allergies by having students inhale carbon dioxide gas. (Two of his former patients in Maryland died following carbon dioxide inhalation therapy, and Philpott was acquitted of manslaughter in 1966.) According to the former head nurse, Esther Johnson Snow, another consultant, Dr. Sol Klotz of Orlando, Fla., told her to inject a student with his own urine...
Colonizing Venus. But mankind's increasing needs will soon take him beyond the moon to the nearby planets. Even Venus, with a surface temperature of nearly 1,000° F. and a thick atmosphere consisting largely of carbon dioxide, will not, says Berry, intimidate 21st century scientists. He notes that there is already a proposal to inject into the atmosphere of Venus hardy algae that feed on carbon dioxide. This would liberate oxygen, let heat escape from the planet's surface, and cause condensed water vapor to fall as rain. Oceans would form, plants could take root...
Other producers have put their millions into reviving the time-honored disaster-film-subcategory-pestilence.

"We are breeding and training real South American bugs," says Producer William Castle. Reminded, perhaps, of the "feelies" of Huxley's Brave New World-in which audiences were electronically tuned in to experience the physical impact of every love scene and head-bonking shown on the screen...
...world. Part of India's monsoon rains are now dropping uselessly into the ocean. In the past six years, the Sahara has expanded 100 miles southward in some places. Scientists are baffled by the phenomenon, but some suspect it may be caused by sun spots or increased carbon dioxide and dust in the atmosphere, or a combination of both...
