Strictly for Whispering. The most obvious objection, says the liberal Protestant weekly, is economic. Seminaries find themselves spending money on quarters for married students that might otherwise go to maintenance or faculty improvement. The expense of "such massive swaddling" drove "the distinguished and dignified president of one of our proudest and most prestigious seminaries" to plead with his married students last fall to cut down their rate of reproduction. Some seminarians sign up for married quarters while they are still single. In one important Southern seminary, an administrator queried one such foresighted young man, who admitted he was neither married...
...rats a diuretic, acetazoleamide (trade name: Diamox). Then, depending on how it was given, the rhodizonate picked up 20% to 40% of the radiostrontium so that it was flushed out in body wastes within 24 hours-provided the rats were kept foodless. Next problem, said Lindenbaum, is to find out whether fasting is necessary for rhodizonate to work, or whether there is a way to get around this. Either way, he was confident that rhodizonate, which human subjects could take by mouth at the first threat of radiostrontium exposure, offers an encouraging lead toward overcoming the most dangerous hazard...
...nearest shelter-never run -says Biologist Thomas J. Haley of the University of California. He exposed rats to an eventually fatal dose of radiation, found that one group, with light exercise, tired and died rapidly, while another group that stayed quiet took far longer to perish. If humans find themselves under some cover during an atomic blast, he feels that they should stay put. "You may experience radiation sickness, but you may at least live to recover...

Last week Manhattan's First National City Bank, Manufacturers Trust and Mellon National Bank & Trust all reported first-quarter earnings sharply higher than last year, up as much...
...test of a writer is whether he can find words for the things that are too terrible for words. Denmark's Karl Bjarnhof, 60, passes the test brilliantly in The Stars Grow Pale, the sensitive story of a boy slowly going blind. In Author Bjarnhof's hands, a theme that might have been merely harrowing or touching takes on the larger complexities of a boy's awakening sensibilities in a small provincial town amid a home life both flintily pious and grindingly poor. What brands the young hero's soul is not the iron of personal...
