...hospital at Muong Sing, only five miles from the Chinese border, to make a "house call" when he fell and bumped his right chest. It felt like nothing worse than a bruise. It was, but it had an unpredictable result. Later, when Dr. Dooley felt pain and a growing lump in his chest, he neglected...
...weeks ago. Dr. Grubbe's cancer began to spread faster. In a three-hour operation last week. Surgeon John R. Orndorff removed an egg-sized lump from his right armpit, as well as the index and little fingers of his hand. Dr. Grubbe had prepared himself for their loss by practicing household chores with his thumb and middle fingers. At week's end he had regained enough strength to renew his campaign for safety measures against the hazards of radiation.

Mister Sam only shook his head. "I can't do a thing with Cannon," he said. "He's the most powerful man in the House." Yet the very...
...there was a volcanic eruption, it is evidence that the moon is not a cold, dead lump of rock, but that its interior is still hot, at least in some places. Some non-Russian astronomers have accepted Dr. Kozyrev's observations, if not his theories. Professor Donald H. Menzel of Harvard thinks that Kozyrev certainly saw something happen on the moon, but it may have been merely a jet of gas breaking out of a crevice. Physicist J. H. Fremlin of the University of Birmingham, England theorized in this week's Nature that if the bottoms of lunar...
