In Colorado's heavily Mexican-American counties along the Ar kansas River, the hepatitis rate is so high that the state's 1960 toll (903 cases) already is the worst in its history. Oregon has reported 950 cases...

He got his doctorate in 1933, went on to teach chemistry at Berkeley. But after Pearl Harbor, he plunged into the supersecret Manhattan Project that built the first atomic bomb...
