Evidence in Bones. As long ago as 1916, Dentist Fredrick S. McKay of Colorado Springs noted that many of his patients had curiously mottled teeth, but that they had developed few or no cavities. He later suggested the reason: the city's water contained more than two parts per million of fluorine salts. It was a logical if slow progression from that to the carefully controlled studies of the 1940s and the continuing campaign since then...
...facts are clear from studies of inhabitants of such places as Colorado Springs who were conceived and lived all their lives there. These people have no higher incidence of disease of the heart, arteries, kidneys, liver or lungs than people who have lived the same sort of life in, say, Boulder, Colo., which lacks natural fluoridation. The same is true also of the townspeople of Lubbock or Bartlett, Texas, where the natural fluorides are too highly concentrated, as high as four and eight parts per million. (Some of these towns are now "defluoridating" down to the optimum 1 p.p.m.) Oldtimers...
...explains coyly, because "he earned it." He called her "Colonel," she says, "because sometimes I get a little bossy. It was just a joke." More serious is the fact that "Tom Cat," or Thomas Riha, 40, associate professor of Russian history at the University of Colorado, has been missing since March. Only the "Colonel"-Mrs. Galya Tannenbaum, a prison alumna with a knack for forgery and a yen for mystery-claims to have seen him since...
Ether Smell. Friends and associates in Colorado continue to wonder if the professor is indeed alive and well. The Czechoslovak-born teacher was first missed on March 18, when he failed to show up for classes at the university. Then Riha's property began to be sold off. His car went to a Denver public school official; a signature purported to be Riha's was on the title assignment. His house was sold. Some of the professor's papers and furniture were sent to Mrs. Tannenbaum's house, and she donated Riha's statuary...
...Check. Denver police last week arrested the Colonel and charged her with forging Riha's name to a bad check. The check was payment for a plane that she had chartered for Cerveny from a Colorado flying service. The charter pilot says Galya claimed to be a Secret Service agent hiring the plane for two citizens of the Soviet Union...
