...brightest chapter in the history of cancer control in the U.S. relates to cancer of the uterus, the second commonest form of the disease in women. Once, it was almost invariably fatal. Now, although 42,000 American women develop the disease each year, two-thirds are saved by surgery. Medical authorities are confident that virtually all the remaining cases could be cured by earlier detection and prompt treatment...
High-Risk Groups. About one-fourth of all uterine cancers invade the body of the womb, usually in older women. The form that attacks the cervix (neck) of the womb may develop in women at any age from the late teens on. Because of both its greater frequency and its threat to women in their childbearing years, this type has received intensive study. The American Cancer Society's Epidemiologist E. Cuyler Hammond lists several social as well as medical factors that go with high cervical cancer rates...
...liberal Protestantism, the Rev. Carl McIntire, 63, has proved that he has a rare gift: everything he touches turns to schism. Contention has dogged him since his seminary days, when he joined a fundamentalist rebellion against liberalizing trends within the Presbyterian Church. Later, he split with fellow rebels to form his own sect, the Bible Presbyterian Church-and then his own church split yet again. Defections have periodically shaken the ranks of his American Council of Christian Churches (A.C.C.C.) and more recently his International Council of Christian Churches (I.C.C.C.), organizations that Mclntire formed in 1941 and 1948, respectively, to oppose...
...Reserve has actually altered policy. The Administration's policymakers recognize the danger that any shift may be too slow and too gradual to head off a recession, but they seem prepared to take the risk in order to break inflationary psychology. They feel that they are practicing a form of brinkmanship...
...provided by O18, a heavy isotope of oxygen that has 18 neutrons in its nucleus instead of the 16 found in ordinary oxygen atoms. About one of every 500 atoms of oxygen in water is O18, and water molecules containing the heavy isotope will fall from clouds in the form of rain or snow before those with ordinary oxygen atoms. In colder weather, the isotope falls even more rapidly. Thus, by the time that clouds arrive over the site where the ice cores were taken, the ratio of O18 atoms to ordinary oxygen atoms in the precipitation is lower than...
