...terrible-tempered Slugger Ted Williams, the coming of spring carries inevitable splinters of physical woe. Last week, a fortnight after he first winced at a pain in the shoulder, Red Sox Star Williams shambled glumly into Boston's Lahey Clinic. Doctors studied his pinched nerve, began treatments. Ever-hopeful Ted, who has been benched almost a dozen times in his long career by such ills as a broken collarbone, a fractured elbow, ankle sprains and virus attacks, hoped to be at the season's opener, April...
Dangerous Dry Spell. No one is quite sure why the unleashed scholars establish their beachhead each year at Fort Lauderdale-an East Coast resort town of 63,000 with a perceptible percentage of retired oldsters. But ever since the town invited students to something called a "swimming forum" in 1938, they have swarmed back each year. Some motel owners are leary of the students; a room rented to two of them at sundown will be sardined with a dozen by dawn. At least one dine-and-dance-oasis proprietor has declared her roadhouse off-limits to the college crowd...
...earth's weather. The clouds give off ultraviolet rays on the so-called Lyman-alpha line of the spectrum, midway between visible light and X rays. Since these rays are absorbed by the earth's atmosphere long before they can reach the ground, no earthbound camera has ever been able to make a photographic record of the clouds or their movements...
...result, released last week, was an image of the sun no man on earth has ever before seen. Clouds of hot (6,000° C.) hydrogen gas, swirling 4,000 to 6,000 miles above the sun's surface, showed up in the photographs as white blotches above the dark areas of lower-altitude gas. Aided by photographs taken in two other wave lengths of visible light from ground stations in California, New Mexico, Michigan and Washington, D.C., the Aerobee's photographs give astronomers a sort of three-dimensional picture of the violent energy processes...
...drugs would no longer give any relief. Dr. E. Donnall Thomas told an American Cancer Society seminar at Excelsior Springs, Mo. how he then placed the child between two cobalt "bombs" (equivalent to 2,000,000-volt X-ray machines) and subjected her to 800 r.-more than had ever before been given intentionally to a human being. Then he injected marrow cells taken from her identical twin sister. She is still alive and seemingly well. Though her hair fell out, it is growing back...
