Noting the rise of such episodes, Congress in August passed a law making it a federal offense (penalty: $10,000 fine or five years' imprisonment) to destroy a draft card. That seemed to dampen the flames, at least publicly...
Breakout After Stress. Like viruses, PPLO can invade living cells and destroy them from within. Like bacteria, they can grow in a chemical broth independently of living cells. Though PPLO differ from bacteria in having ill-defined shapes (see diagram), some are believed to be variant forms of bacteria. And like many bacteria, some PPLO are natural inhabitants of the human respiratory, intestinal and genital tracts, where they cause no disease until they are activated when the individual has been subjected to unusual stress...
Garbled Message. Dr. Fogh's most provocative finding: when PPLO infect human cells grown in test tubes, they destroy some cells, but-more significantly-alter the genetic material of others. They cause the development of deformed chromosomes, and even of entirely new chromosomes never seen in natural cells. Thus, their presence gives the cell a garbled genetic message so that it will produce abnormal daughter cells-a process sometimes observed in cancer. Neither Dr. Fogh nor anyone else is yet ready to say flatly that PPLO cause cancer, but since researchers have found the organisms in test-tube growths...
Whatever the reason for their fierce tempers, the marauding Africans have Brazilians frantically searching for an antidote. But so far, the only suggested solution is genocide. "Destroy them all says Father Nedel. "If they are not Controlled, they will take over all the other bees and they will take over Brazil. Says São Paulo Beekeeper Luiz Zovaro who keeps African bees, but has had to raise the price of honey from 39? to almost $2 a jar because it is so difficult to extract honeycombs from their hives: "If they are not stopped Brazil will no longer...
...Aeronautics and Space Administration for use in missiles, North American Car Corp. now makes railway tank cars that weigh only one-half as much as steel cars. New metals developed by space researchers and subcontractors, notably the titanium alloys, are coming into use in oil refineries, where corrosive chemicals destroy ordinary steel valves. Space research has taught General Electric better means of coloring aluminum, hardening its surface and fusing it with out welding...
