...wind was first described by Germany's Paul G. Unna in 1894 as Seemanns-haut.

In the U.S., 91% of skin cancer is on the hands, face and neck, 2% is on "occasionally exposed" sites, and 6.5% on sites never ordinarily exposed...
Slicing the Tree. The pathologists removed the whole breathing apparatus ("tracheobronchial tree") from the bodies of 402 men who died in Veterans Administration Hospital in East Orange and in eleven New York hospitals (mainly in nonindustrial towns to reduce bias that might result from air pollution). It turned out that 63 of the men had died of lung cancer and 339 from other causes, but the pathologists did not know this until after they had finished their findings. Each "tree" was cut into 208 portions and embedded in paraffin. Fifty-five of these portions, chosen for microscopic study, were then...
Dormant Danger. But even moderate regular smoking went with a startling rise in the chart for atypical cells: for men who smoked less than half a pack daily, it soared to 90.6% of the slides.

Others have prospered along with Lee, and the Hong Kong garment industry to day has estimated assets worth $200 million. Exports to the U.S. (chiefly brassières, nightgowns, pajamas, blouses and men's slacks and shirts) are expected to be more than $80 million this year, a 140% increase over last year. Though still less than 3% of total U.S. consumption, it is the concentration of items in particular areas that has most aroused U.S. industry and labor opposition. In the field of brassieres alone, Hong Kong imports account for an estimated 40% of the U.S. market...
