Sattahip's harbor is being deepened to make it a major ammunition and petroleum port from which a pipeline will pump fuel to Korat airbase in northeast Thailand. The increased logistical flow will supply not only the dozen U.S. fighter-bomber squadrons now operating in Thailand, but also four additional squadrons due to arrive soon, raising the number of U.S. servicemen in Thailand to 30,000 by year's end. As the main funnel for the flow, the Sattahip sea-air complex will require thousands of U.S. personnel...
...result of the long night spent by some in offices. With the impeccable restraint of a good Timesman, Tolchin merely hinted that many Americans apparently require crisis nights to get interested in fertility rites; he found statistics showing that the national birth rate jumped markedly nine months after Pearl Harbor and after the outbreak of the Korean War. In any case, he added, sociologists had predicted all along that the New York blackout would "provide a rich mine for behavioral, sociological and psychological discovery...
Tons of Danger. Sunday was a day of pure surrealist chaos. In Sag Harbor, a onetime whaling port, a fake whale was seen floating in the harbor; 15 pretty nurses lay down on three hospital beds set smack in the middle of the highway. But nothing matched the pandemonium on Montauk's bluffs. There the Montauk Fire Department's hoses and two foam makers were turned loose, sending gallons upon gallons of fire-fighting foam billowing down the cliffs. Joined by hardened surfers, who left their boards to join in the fun, Kaprow, like Moses, led his tribes...
...geneticists' meeting in Bar Harbor, Me., this week, Johns Hopkins University's Dr. Victor McKusick will report that his research team has now traced 150 U.S. families with a total of probably 250 dysautonomic children. All but two families are of Ashkenazic (North European Jewish) extraction, from which more than 98% of American Jews are descended. In those two families, the mother does not know of any Jewish ancestors. In Israel, the forebears of 30 such children were all Ashkenazim rather than Sephardim (Mediterranean Jews). How did dysautonomia become an Ashkenazic malady...
Drowsy Victim. Dr. Gebhardt knew that in the summertime, usually beginning in July, at least one species of mosquito carries the WEE virus from infected animal to man or from infected man to man. He also knew that some birds, notably swallows, harbor the virus. But in the Rockies and on the high plains the carrier mosquitoes die off as winter begins and insect-eating birds fly south. Where did the virus spend the winter...
