...There were astonishing tales of survival," reported TIME Correspondent David Aikman from Bucharest. "One woman breast-fed her baby while trapped for 80 hours, only to lose it at the moment of rescue from under tons of debris. A stunt man climbed precariously into a totally demolished building to look for survivors-but not until he had told bystanders that he was absolving them from responsibility for whatever calamity might befall him in the search...
...proposed ban, expected to go into effect in July, is based on a study by the Canadian government's health-protection laboratory in Ottawa. For three years, researchers fed rats daily doses of saccharin that amounted to 5% of their diet by weight. In the first generation of rodents, seven out of 38 developed bladder tumors, three of them malignant. In the second generation of rats-which had developed in the wombs of saccharin-fed mothers, were nursed on their milk and later given the chemical themselves-twelve out of 44 had tumors; eight of them were malignant. That...
...same as that of a human," protested William Inman, vice president of Sherwin-Williams Co. of Cleveland, the sole U.S. producer of saccharin, whose output accounts for 65% of the 8 million lbs. consumed yearly by Americans. Researchers pointed to the enormous quantities of saccharin fed the test rats-equivalent to consumption by a human of some 800 cans of diet soda each day over a lifetime. Said Duke University Biochemist Henry Kamin: "The dosages are so large that the result means nothing." In Albany, N.Y., Dr. Frederick Coulston revealed that his tests on monkeys-much closer to humans than...
...compose what is analogous to the chorus of the Greek tragedy. (The journalists also wear sunglasses. It is a bitterly appropriate effect that these "reporters" should have their vision blocked by dark glasses.) With voices reminiscent of CBS Evening News, the journalists mouth the distortions and fabrications Creon has fed them. They are the ones, Antigona says, who make it inevitable that there be "two versions of the truth: mine and theirs. Mine is simple enough...
Only the Kabalega Falls National Park on the banks of the White Nile shows signs of life. Hippos snort still in the muddy waters-though many have been shot out for greasy "hippoburgers" -and crocodiles abound, well fed by the bodies that get regularly dumped into the river. Ground transport is almost totally lacking. Less than 5% of Uganda's total bus fleet is operable; breakdowns are permanent because no spare parts are available...
