...particularly in a hospital-is enough to set disease detectives working overtime. Salmonellosis is a particularly severe diarrhea, often accompanied by vomiting, acute cramps and fever; and it can be fatal to feeble youngsters and oldsters. In the Boston case, it fell to Pediatrician David J. Lang to find out whatdunit. From case records, Dr. Lang concluded that while some of the children had been infected with S. cubana when they entered the hospital, others had picked up the infection there. That made the job tougher. Dr. Lang found that the hospital-acquired cases had been bedded in four different...

In any case, TV filming has little relation to moviemaking, and even less to wide-screen moviemaking. Hill's idea of composing a Panavision frame is summed...
...Army's Cold Regions Re search and Engineering Laboratory at Hanover, N.H., Geologist Chester Lang-way Jr. has been dating the ice cores both by counting the yearly layers -much as the age of a tree is determined by counting its rings - and by isotope dating of bubbles of ancient air trapped when the ice was formed. Samples tak en from the bottom of the sheet have been found to be as much as 10,000 years old. The ice and the trapped air bubbles are also being analyzed for composition, organic and inorganic im purities, influences of climate...
