But the big new dividend of solid fuel is that Minuteman missiles can be fired from Soft, deep, concrete-lined and steel-capped underground cylindrical chambers -"inverted silos...
Into a Columbia University laboratory regularly stream shipments of one of science's grimmest raw materials for study: human bones. They come from the recently dead bodies of men, women and children all over the non-Communist world, including such outskirts as Chile, South Africa and Formosa. At Columbia's Lamont Geological Observatory, in a project financed by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, they go under the scrutiny of scientists who analyze the bones for strontium 90. Last week the project's three scientists, Drs. Walter R. Eckelmann, J. Laurence Kulp and Arthur R. Schulert, made their...

...houses and sending out squads (usually four men), each of which can spray about 10,000 houses a year with guns the size of a large fire extinguisher. In Mexico, 3,500,000 houses have been sprayed. The program is well along in Central America, coastal Ecuador and Peru, Formosa, Swaziland and Ceylon. It is finished in northern Venezuela, several Caribbean islands and parts of Argentina. Soon to feel the fine spray of DDT are Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Burma, the Philippines...
