Only half a dozen patients have been treated so far in each center. White blood cell counts, which soar as high as 200,000 per cubic millimeter in leukemia, have dropped to around 8,000#151;within the normal range. Patients with some of the chronic forms of leukemia have maintained their improvement for as long as nine months after treatment. Benefit in acute leukemia has been much shorter, but all the patients have been adults, in whom the chronic forms of the disease are more common...
Undersea Pipeline. Whatever gas or oil the sea may yield, the Groningen field's proved reserves (1.1 trillion cubic meters) already constitute 70% of Europe's gas resources and bulk larger than all of Canada's. Dutch officials estimate privately that the field harbors nearly 2 trillion cubic meters. Groningen gas now reaches some 500,000 Dutch consumers, and early in December the Esso-Shell export consortium and the British Gas Council began jointly studying the feasibility of a $75 million pipeline across the North Sea that would let Dutch wells supply half of Britain...
...boundaries. He embraced space with his mobiles, sometimes in a bear hug, sometimes in a fencer's riposte. He became known as the man who made sculpture move. Actually, the Russian constructivists and Dadaist Marcel Duchamp did it years before him, but no one has ever made cubic feet dance and gambol as has Calder. His work is the apotheosis of open form: space is his circus, all three rings, all three dimensions...
According to Brown's estimate, the 10,000 cubic parsecs* of space around the sun contain about 1,000 visible stars. Most of them are comparatively small; the smaller and dimmer being the most numerous. But stars that are too small and dim cannot be seen un less they are very near the earth, so their apparent number is low. If they are slightly smaller still, they give no light and cannot be seen...
...stars condensed out of primitive gas and dust, many smaller bodies were also formed at the same time. Seven invisible objects somewhat bigger than Jupiter have already been detected by the wobbling motion that they cause in the stars around which they revolve. Dr. Brown estimates that 10,000 cubic parsecs of space contain 12,730 invisible bodies with sizes ranging from one-sixth the mass of the sun down to "earth equivalent"-the mass that the earth would have if its original hydrogen and other gases had not been driven off by the heat of the nearby sun. Small...
