...because an atomic fission bomb produces 160 times as much of it, and 20 times as much as appeared in milk after weapons tests. While Sr-89 does not remain active long enough to harm an adult, it may be a threat to children (a Canadian boy has been found with three times as much Sr-89as Sr-90 in his bones). A pregnant woman may get Sr-89 in milk or other fresh foods, so the danger is greatest to the unborn, said Dr. Schulert, "since the growing fetal skeleton reflects the diet of the mother," and the fast...

"I often think people who go straight through the university and into the church haven't seen enough of the world. I found in the navy that a commanding officer is a sort of welfare officer, and once men trust you they will ask you for advice on all sorts of problems...
...after World War II when the Air Force decided to bypass preliminary trainers and begin fledgling flyers in North American AT-6s (advanced trainers). When other countries followed the U.S., a shortage developed, since North American had stopped making the planes. Ayer scoured the world for the ATs (he found 15 on an abandoned British airstrip in Southern Rhodesia), sold 252. plus another 380 small planes. Last year he broke into the big-plane market with the purchase of 24 Convair 2405 from American Airlines...
