Last week the tall, spare 72-year-old president of Ventures Ltd. called a special meeting of shareholders in Toronto to announce his biggest venture: a hydroelectric power development in the vast Yukon Territory, which may cost up to $2 billion and develop as much as 5,000,000 h.p., to run a great new metallurgical development in the Canadian Northwest...
...Thursday, April 16th. This article written by Mr. Sutton represents a high standard of cooperation between reporter and scientist in the difficult communication of scientific data to the layman. News handling of this sort will bridge the threatening gulf between the technical scientist and the interested citizen. Ogden R. Lindsley...
...first stage that interests Lindsley, as psychologist, because of its obvious strategic importance with respect to increased anxiety and fear of combat personnel following even sub-lethal doses of radiation. "The results obtained from these experiments with dogs are based on laws of animal behavior learned through the study of pigeons," says Lindsley. "Most probably a human's reaction to irradiation would be the same as a dog's--for it's a bigger phylogenetic jump from the pigeon to the dog than from the dog to man." Also significant is the fact that many people irradiated in the treatment...
