On the ground, close by the tall towers, other devices responded to events that took place in less than a millionth of a second, transmitted their observations to remote recorders before vanishing in the swirling turbulence. Pigs, dogs and mice, placed at carefully computed points, were later studied to determine the biological effects of blast and radiation...

Other doctors are finding new means to help victims walk again by surgery and exercise, while psychologists are watching the effects on patients of living in an iron lung. The likeliness and control of epidemics are also getting attention. Nearly every phase of polio is being studied at the University...
