...under the fluoroscope-worked it up into the aorta, the body's main artery. When it was close to the heart, he slipped a thin polyethylene tube over the dangling end, worked this up the artery, using the steel string as a guide, then withdrew the guide. Radiopaque dye injected through the tube showed, on X rays, a ruptured kidney artery. Removal of the damaged kidney and connected artery saved the patient's life...
...like banshees at the egg snatchers, then promptly laid some more. In desperation, the Navy packed some gooneys into planes, hauled them to far-off Guam, to Kwajalein, to northern Japan, even to Puget Sound-4,000 miles away. Unerringly, the gooneys, thoughtfully marked with a shocking-pink head dye for identincation, flew back to Midway.

...have been spotted, preventive measures have been more effective than against any other disease. Scrotum cancer of U.S. oil workers, from a wax-pressing process, has been wiped out (as was chimney sweeps' cancer) by keeping the dangerous chemical at a distance. So has bladder cancer in the dye industry. Circumcision and scrupulous cleanliness markedly reduce a man's risk of cancer of the penis, and possibly his wife's risk of cervical cancer...
