...Gonna Shoot." There, on Dave Weyer's insistence, Violet was brought to Psychiatrist G. Charles Sutch. Typically, in cascades of anxiety and tears, she persisted in saying: "I don't know what happened. I just don't remember." Sutch gave her a dose of Sodium Amytal (truth serum) in an attempt to break through the "tremendous amnesic barrier." "You can remember, Violet," he persuaded her gently. "Tell me everything that happened." Violet haltingly told her story: she had returned home from a restaurant with her husband, quarreling, on the way, about the food. Then...
...exaggerated the dangers of fallout from H-bomb tests; the four-month-old, nonpolitical National Academy of Sciences report found that the radioactive fallout from hydrogen tests, if continued for the next 30 years at the rate of the last five, would amount to about one-thirtieth of the dose the average person would receive from routine X ray and fluoroscopic examinations. Atomic Energy Commissioner Willard Libby has said that even if tests were to continue at the present rate indefinitely, the quantity of radioactive Strontium 90 in humans might increase only to 64/1,000ths of the "maximum permissible concentration...

Dr. Lapp pleads for criticism of his conclusions and I am sure we all hope that he is mistaken. If he is right, there is no sane choice but to stop the testing of large atomic weapons immediately. Strontium 90 is no joke--if the tests are continued much longer it could cause many millions...
...scale field trials with a vaccine that is in almost every respect the opposite to Salk's. It is made from "attenuated" virus-particles incapable of producing paralysis but strong enough to stimulate immunizing antibodies. This virus is used live. It is given by mouth in a single dose. Dr. Sabin has already tried it on 130 prisoner-volunteers, needs thousands of subjects for fuller proof of its safety and efficacy...
...years, California's Pomona College (enrollment: 1,025) had rarely had a more eager class. They were 25 rising executives, with jobs ranging from blast furnace superintendent to insurance company vice president. They had been sent to Pomona, at company expense, to gulp down as big a dose of the liberal arts as possible in two weeks...
