This year's hazard was first discovered by a doctor in Charleville-Mezieres, in France's Ardennes region. Dr. Jean-Francois Elchardus became alarmed at the sudden and seemingly inexplicable deaths of eight of 15 infants he had treated last spring for diarrhea and large swellings on the buttocks, to which powder had been applied. When he sent several baby products to a laboratory for analysis, tests showed that one of them, a powder called Bebe (baby), was rich in hexachlorophene. The chemical made up 6% of Bebe. (U.S.-manufactured cleansers contain no more than 3% hexachlorophene...
...case some of your readers are puzzled by Mr. Rudy Vallée's recent attack on me in your Letters column (usually he writes nasty letters to my employers-now he's out in the open), let me hazard two possible explanations: 1) Mr. Vallée once taped a show of mine on which he did his stand-up comedy act-and we put it on the air. 2) It could just be the Generation Gap. I missed his prime when he was singing through a megaphone. I've only known him since he took...
Eleven BNDD agents have been killed in the past four years. The chief occupational hazard is the "little guy," who is apt to panic when he finds he has been dealing with an agent. A regular trafficker would "just back off and split," says Panella. "These guys don't like messy stuff." They do not hesitate to rub out a suspected informer...
...secondly, as the bones were increasingly affected, it became increasingly painful." He injected himself with a painkiller, but discovered that "under its influence, I could not think clearly and in particular could not rely on my calculations." Thus Sir Francis decided to quit the race, "not because of hazard to myself, but because of the risks to others if I passed out, which seemed probable." Those risks taken by his rescuers were really unnecessary, Sir Francis intimated. "Although I shall always be grateful for the kindness and skill of the help I received from the Royal Navy in removing...
...even stranger will-o'-the-wisp called the neutrino: a virtually massless and chargeless bundle of energy. That tiny particle can pass through matter of any thickness, including the entire earth. Furthermore, regardless of how many neutrinos there might be in a beam, they would present no radiation hazard. Thus if a neutrino transmission and detection system could be developed, the elusive particle might prove to be an even better answer to man's growing communications needs...
