...specter of Soviet military might was the reappearance, after a three-year absence, of a much-feared, fiercely debated and vastly misunderstood phenomenon: radioactive fallout. With radioactive clouds from the Soviet tests spinning around the earth, fallout was on almost everybody's mind. U.S. housewives worried that their milk might be contaminated by the tests or that their children might get cancer. The Finns worried that their reindeer meat might become radioactive when reindeers munched on contaminated lichen. Great Britain set up plans for rationing baby foods and dried milk if radioactivity became too high. And in India, some...
...tests, may rise beyond tolerable levels. The U.S. is improving a vast detection system that will enable it to give public warning to its citizens if radiation becomes a real danger. Should the level of radioactivity rise markedly, babies could be kept on processed food longer to avoid radiation; milk and other vulnerable foods could be kept in freezers for a longer time before consumption, allowing short-lived radioactive materials to decay. Contaminated milk could also be diluted with uncontaminated milk, bringing radioactivity below the danger point. People could be protected from radioactive iodine by taking potassium iodine in their...
Soviet nuclear explosions have produced no appreciable rise in the radioactivity of milk in this area, H. P. Hood and Sons announced Monday after two weeks of testing...
...Harry L. Wildasin, Laboratory Director for Hood, said tests have been run on milk from every Hood processor in New England. Some samples have shown no measureable radioactivity, while others have shown measurable but very low radioactivity. No milk so far is considered dangerous by Wildasin and public health officials...
Music & Mixers. For restless Ray Kroc, the road to drive-in wealth began with a series of detours. After early stretches as a jazz pianist and musical director of Oak Park, Ill. radio station WGES, Kroc spent 17 years selling paper cups and then Multimixer milk-shake makers. One day in 1954 he stopped at a drive-in run by two brothers named McDonald in San Bernardino, Calif. Impressed by their efficient operation, Kroc struck a bargain with the brothers: in return for use of the McDonald name and techniques, he agreed to pay them 0.5% of all future sales...
