Overtime in traction could soon be eliminated, however. John Jurist, a biophysicist, and Dr. Edmund Markey, an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Wisconsin Medical School, are experimenting with a technique that could enable physicians to determine with precision whether a bone is strong enough to bear weight. So far, their research has focused exclusively on a long leg bone, the tibia, to which a vibrating machine is attached. After the bone is vibrated at various...

Since early January, a commission of British investigators headed by Lord Pearce, a noted jurist, has been canvassing the country to test the acceptability of Britain's proposed agreement with Prime Minister Ian Smith's white regime. The agreement would give the blacks, who outnumber the whites 22 to 1, a faint hope of coming to power in Rhodesia...
