...risky-stock Dow-Jones of its own. Says Senior Vice President Ralph A. Rotnem, "According to our figures, this is the most speculative market since 1959." Harris, Upham's speculative chart, however, peaked in mid-December, has drifted down since. The new activity, and the strength that will churn up the 1000 mark, is in blue chips...
...catchall category of "cause unknown." Not until the early 1960s was this form found to be caused by an excess of the potent hormone aldosterone (TIME, March 15, 1963), produced by the adrenal glands, which bestride the kidneys. If either gland develops a tumor, it is likely to churn out aldosterone too generously. The victim of this "primary aldosteronism" has too little potassium in his system and usually too much sodium, an imbalance that leaves him prey to intermittent paralysis, uremia-and high blood pressure...
Over the tall green pines of south eastern Alabama, singly and in forma tions of seven, the ungainly olive-drab helicopters swoop and buzz like dragonflies. Night and day they churn above the Army Aviation Center at Fort Rucker. They blast the wire-grass country with rockets, machine-gun slugs and grenades. They execute intricate maneuvers high in the sky and inches off the ground, turning once-tranquil skies into some of the world's most congested airspace...
...coming down. A combination of improved reactors and lower-cost uranium has not only made nuclear power competitive with conventional power but made it the cheapest of all available forms of electricity in many parts of Europe. German power experts calculate that a large modern nuclear plant can churn up power for 6 to 61 mills per kilowatt-hour v. 71 to 9 mills for an equivalent coal plant. Hydroelectric power is cheaper than both, but is not widely available. Switzerland and Sweden are opting for nuclear power because they are running out of water sources...
Through the 90-mile-wide Straits of Florida separating the U.S. from Cuba runs some of the most bizarre traffic ever seen on any body of water in the world. Desperate Cubans flee north in sailboats, rafts-even inner tubes. At night, weird vessels churn among the mangrove and coral cays on secret missions for no one is quite sure whom. One morning last week, a U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat 65 miles off Cuba drew alongside one of the strangest yet: an aged, 165-ft., grey-hulled converted yacht named the Seven Seas, adrift and seemingly unmanned-until...
