...impressive total and continue to grow. They are backed up by laboratory evidence. Experiments, often sponsored by the industry, are continuing with mice, dogs, baboons and other animals. Tests on chickens at Arthur D. Little Co. in Boston have shown that smoke gases temporarily paralyze the tiny, hairlike cilia that normally keep foreign matter clear of the lungs. Other animal research has identified a number of suspected carcinogens in cigarette smoke. At the House hearings last week, U.S. Surgeon General William Stewart repeated his conviction: "I think we have established cause and effect in lung cancer...
...Artist Jann Haworth Blake, Detroit-born Negro Model Donyale Luna. Later, with Michael Rainey, 25, owner of Hung On You, she dances at Dolly's discothèque in Jermyn Street, where the deafening beat comes from the Action, the Stones, the Who, the Animals, the Mindbenders, and Cilia Black, and the right drink (at 98?) is Campari and soda-because it is red and tickles. Dances have no names in London any more. "You just dance, do the dance, whatever you feel like," says Jane, adding candidly that the reason couples in Dolly...
...SULLIVAN SHOW (CBS, 8-9 p.m.). The Beatles open the 18th fall season of the Sullivan show with six of their hit tunes. Other guests include Soupy Sales and Cilia Black...
...then: "It is vestigial in the carnivorous septibranch bivalves"; what, have not the carnivorous septibranch bivalves their own vivacious style? "The style is present in only those herbivorous gastropods which feed by cilia or by slow radular action; in archeogastropods (e.g., Lunella) the style is mucus rod"; will Lunella tolerate such a slur? "Carnivorous snails have no style." The last straw...
...components of smoke that paralyze the cilia, and are therefore important in bronchitis and related diseases, are largely carbolic and other acids. A proportion of these (up to 90% in the case of phenol) can be removed by cellulose acetate filters. Other cilia-damaging components, such as acetaldehyde and acrolein, are cut down by an activated charcoal filter, especially if the charcoal is compressed. A still better way, said Wynder and Hoffmann, is to filter the smoke through water and then through compressed charcoal, but so far this is not practicable -except, conceivably, in homes with filter-tipped hookahs...
