...stories in the Passionella volume only by virtue of the fact that he "lived on the moon--no kidding." But though the "friends" from Sick, Sick, Sick are missing, except for George, the enemies are the same: Madison Avenue types, organizational tyrants, and the entrepreneurs of the hydrogen bomb. (By making this distinction between "friends" and "enemies," I do not mean to suggest that Mr. Feiffer coddles the phonies, the sedulous non-conformists, the trend-hoppers, the self-conscious psyche-searchers, and the various other types who populate his world. But though he exposes them, he does it from within...
Working with Dr. Dietrich Hoffmann at Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute, said Dr. Wynder, he has found in the tar no fewer than 17 hydrogen-carbon compounds of the polycyclic group (i.e., with several carbon rings in the molecule). Nine have been exonerated, but to the six already known to produce cancer on the backs of mice the Wynder-Hoffmann team has added two more-3.4-benzfluoranthene and 10.11-benzfluoranthene. But these chemicals occur only in minute quantities in cigarette...
Finally, Hicks has found that the effects of radiation on the offspring can be predicted with "reasonable accuracy," a discovery valuable in the event of atomic or hydrogen bomb attacks on this country...
...naked eye the sun seems a smooth, bright disk. But astronomers have long known that its face is mottled with hot clouds of hydrogen gas, which seem to be the source of some of the radiation that periodically disrupts radio communication, and may have an important effect on the earth's weather. The clouds give off ultraviolet rays on the so-called Lyman-alpha line of the spectrum, midway between visible light and X rays. Since these rays are absorbed by the earth's atmosphere long before they can reach the ground, no earthbound camera has ever been...
...result, released last week, was an image of the sun no man on earth has ever before seen. Clouds of hot (6,000° C.) hydrogen gas, swirling 4,000 to 6,000 miles above the sun's surface, showed up in the photographs as white blotches above the dark areas of lower-altitude gas. Aided by photographs taken in two other wave lengths of visible light from ground stations in California, New Mexico, Michigan and Washington, D.C., the Aerobee's photographs give astronomers a sort of three-dimensional picture of the violent energy processes...
