...that far. One possible explanation for the unexpected longevity of some atom-blast victims is that whatever enabled them to survive the blast in the first place--a natural resistance to disease, perhaps--continues to protect them.

"Radiation in general is a very ineffective carcinogen," he says. Below certain very low levels, it may cause no harm...

Guided by special stains developed by the French researcher, he probed the embryos' minuscule, 1-mm- to 2-mm-long neural tubes (out of which...
