Perhaps the most important discovery was made early in the week during the second excursion by Astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin. After driving past a group of craters called the South Cluster, they made their way up a 7° slope toward the mountainous Apennine Front, and approached an imposing 12,000-ft. peak called Hadley Delta. The astronauts stepped out of the rover and began to select rocks, describing each to the fascinated geologists back in the science support room in Houston. One rock looked like "green cheese"-until Scott raised his gold-tinted visor and saw that...
...since 1966, were reported a year ago by Drs. Arthur Herbst and Robert Scully of Boston's Vincent Memorial Hospital, the women's division of Massachusetts General. Another Boston doctor discovered an eighth case. The doctors then could not even hazard a guess to explain this sudden cluster of rarities. Moreover, all but one of the cancers were of a cell type different from that found in older women. So Herbst teamed with fellow Gynecologist Howard Ulfelder and Disease Detective David Poskanzer to do some backtracking...
...Cluster. The implications of such findings are clear. The unusual incidence of the disease is enough to imply that it is contagious to some degree. And the discovery that some cases were not diagnosed until three or more years after exposure hints at a long incubation period. The fact that a few of the victims were connected only by unaffected third parties suggests that some people carry the disease without themselves being infected...
...touch with the state health department. As a result, hundreds of calls were received last week. While the disease is not curable, prompt treatment can often check its course. Meanwhile, a student at a New York medical school has written to health authorities to report a cluster of three cases involving two of his classmates and one of their friends. Dr. Greenwald and his associates plan to conduct a study of the outbreak...
...that. Those converted by the straight evangelicals generally wind up on established church rolls, but are likely to be in the hundreds of thousands; the evangelistic staffs alone account for more than 5,000 people. The Jesus People?surely many thousands?are the most difficult to count. They often cluster in communes or, as they prefer to call them, "Christian houses"; the Rev. Edward Plowman, historian of the movement, estimates that there are 600 across the U.S. There is no doubt about their growth: Evangelist David Hoyt moved from San Francisco to Atlanta only a year...
