Complete prevention of cholera by cleaning up or isolating contaminated water supplies-a more effective method of prevention than the wearing of fantastic anti-cholera costumes with a windmill on the hat (see cut]-no longer seems feasible. El Tor bacilli have spread too far, over millions of square miles. Vaccination would seem to be the next best step, but after 80 years experts still cannot agree on how good the vaccines are, or how to make the best one. Though injections of killed bacilli, as in the vaccines now generally used, stimulate the production of antibody in the blood...
...clear how the Soc Rel faculty will choose students for its subcommittees. There are many possibilies, from elections at mass meetings of concentrators to selection by grades or intensity of interest. But the method of choice is far less significant that the fact that a large department is at last trying to implement the idea of student-faculty cooperation that has proved so helpful in reinvigorating the curricula and rules of small concentrations, such as the Social Studies program...
Hydrogen Cooling. These apparent limitations dampened interest in further ramjet development work until late last year, when Marquardt Corp. scientists convincingly demonstrated a practical method of maintaining combustion in a supersonic flow of air. Using hydrogen, which has a low ignition temperature, burns rapidly and provides high thrust, they kept an experimental scramjet burning in air moving as fast as 7,000 m.p.h. By redesigning their engine's inlet to allow it to gulp air at supersonic speeds, they were also able to eliminate the excessive temperatures and pressures. And they proved that useful thrust could be produced...
...arteries. The disease that had already claimed his right leg was now attacking his left. As a last resort, two young doctors from the New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn suggested trying a new surgical technique that they had only tested on animals and human cadavers. Their method, they said, might save...
...think that Mr. Leventhal has made an even greater error. He says that "war itself is immoral," and at the same time he says that war is an "obsolete method of solving international conflicts," implying that at one time it was valid. Perhaps this is a feat of double-think equally astounding as the one he unjustly accuses SDS of When has war ever solved international conflict? For that matter, can violence ever solve any conflict? All that violence can possibly do is suppress conflict, only to have it reappear in a new but heightened form. Our sitting...
