Partly under him and partly under others, statistics have narrowed the presumed cause from smoking in general to cigarette smoking to heavy cigarette smoking.

With this much to go on, Hammond hypothesized that the amount of smoke to get into the lungs...
...Hammond reported preliminary results. His researchers, he said, had questioned 382,000 U.S. men between 45 and 79, asked them whether they smoked, and if so, how much they inhaled. Then, after 4,331 deaths had occurred in the study group, the researchers analyzed mortality figures. Compared with those who never smoke cigarettes, mortality from all causes was 53% higher among those who inhaled "slightly" and 81% higher among those who inhaled ''moderately." The death rate among those who inhaled ''deeply" was more than double that of nonsmokers...

Karla Francisco, 21, a fourth-generation Californian who is marrying Thomas T. Hammond, 22, at her family's luxurious hacienda, had a relatively conventional kitchen shower. But other brides have an appliance shower, a crystal shower, a china shower, a paper shower, a lingerie shower, a bathroom shower, and "vice" shower (liquor, brandy, wine). In Detroit's suburban Bloomfield Hills, Patti Bugas...
