Triggering mechanisms are still more obscure. Stanford University's Radiologist Henry Kaplan has shown that if he gives a dose of X rays to seemingly virus-free mice, they develop cancers containing virus particles. The late Dr. Francisco Duran-Reynals argued that chemicals and viruses combine to cause cancer. Now many laboratories are confirming his basic thesis: mice painted with a low dose of a known carcinogen (cancer-causing chemical) get no tumors, and neither do those exposed only to viruses; but if mice get both the virus and minute amounts of the chemical, many of them soon develop...
...must be said again and again." Says Dr. Merril Eisenbud, director of the environmental radiation laboratory of the New York University Medical Center: "Fallout is not a good thing. But of all the sources of man-made exposure to ionizing radiation, this is among the smallest. The total dose from fallout to the present time has been about 5% of the dose the average person receives from natural radioactivity. It's probably less than 5% of the dose delivered to the average person as the result of the improper use of X rays. It would be relatively simple...
...Force research on atom-powered airplanes. The reactor was set among wooded hills and abandoned fields that were reverting to forest, and in June 1959 it was allowed to operate for a short period at high level, spraying its surroundings with gamma rays and neutrons, the total dose simulating the effect of fallout after a nuclear...
...Lower East Side. At 20, he is running a bucket shop. Soon he sets up a gambling house, and moves in on the horse parlors. But after fingering a little punk (Rooney) who has served him loyally, the rat (as he did in real life) catches a fatal dose of lead poisoning in Room 349 of the Park Central Hotel...
Rural Resettlement. The Malayan government hopes to cure all its national ills with a heavy dose of economic planning. Among other things, it offers some of Southeast Asia's most generous tax concessions to foreign industries. Aluminium Ltd. of Canada is planning a $1,500,000 aluminum rolling plant at Petaling Jaya, Dunlop has begun construction of a $25,000,000 tire factory, and a Japanese Malayan iron and steel plant will be operating at Lunut by 1964. A massive hydroelectric plant, mostly financed by a $35.6 million loan from the World Bank, is under construction in the Cameron...
