...last week's A.M.A. Journal, Pediatricians Irwin J. Light and James M. Sutherland reported how well the technique worked. They grew a gentle strain of staph, dubbed 502A, in soy broth, and swabbed a minute amount of the germ-laden fluid into the nostrils and on the unhealed navels of one-hour-old babies in Cincinnati General Hospital. The 502A "took"; air sampling and other tests showed that dangerous strains of staph soon disappeared from the nurseries. But the harmful strains reappeared after swabbing was stopped. Medical men call the staph v. staph process "bacterial interference...
Even Mr. Fletcher's direction is more definite and fluid. And there is a uniformity of acting style and speech that gives one the feeling of hope that Stratford is once again on the road to having a real company...
...Exercise. Volunteer Cobb lived a carefully regulated life for the next 83 weeks. He was confined to the air-conditioned clinic, permitted no exercise (to avoid fluid loss through sweat), and given only measured amounts of food and water. Each day's intake was about 1,000 calories, but in 56-day cycles, he was shifted among...
...felt least hungry between meals. With the high-fat diet, two-thirds of the loss was fat; the rest was mostly water (one unwanted side effect: an increase of cholesterol and other blood fats). On the carbohydrate diet, only half the loss was fat; the rest was muscle and fluid (often temporary). One conclusion, noted Dr. Greenberg, is that figures on a scale often deceive a dieter: "People on diets can't tell how much loss is fat." An other conclusion is that calories do count-along with will power...
Valuable as liquid hydrogen is in the lab, though, the men who use it can never forget its dangerous characteristics. The trouble is, it really does not want to be a liquid. Forced into a fluid state by powerful refrigeration machines, it must be sealed in a double-walled vacuum container and kept constantly below its boiling point (-423° F.) to control vaporization. As a liquid, it is not readily flammable. It is when it vaporizes and comes in contact with oxygen that hydrogen becomes explosive. Which makes for a vicious problem: how to let off the inevitable vapors...
