...five-year-old shorter-range (6,300 miles) Minuteman I missiles. Thus, as the more effective Minuteman Us develop bugs in their intricate components, the nation's ICBM capability is seriously reduced. Minuteman II, when functioning perfectly, has range, flexibility and speed (about 30 min. to any target in Russia or China) unmatched by Minuteman I, the Navy's Polaris missiles (range: 2,875 miles) or, of course, intercontinental bombers. Currently, 40% of the Minuteman Us are not operational or not on alert because of malfunctions, leaving the nation comparatively naked to a Communist ICBM attack...

...Dentists Eriberto Cueto and Michael Buonocore recently cut decay by 86% among 269 young patients by applying a thin plastic coating twice yearly to tooth surfaces. In upstate New York, an NIDR researcher cut decay by 80% among 500 children who wore mouthpieces treated with sodium fluoride for six min utes of each school day for two years. By contrast, mass fluoridation of water reduces decay by about 65%. Using a self-administered prophylactic paste, Annapolis midshipmen were able to cut their incidence of cavities by 93%. The NIDR is also supporting a study in a Colombian village where fluorides...
