...common among Adventist men as among other men (though equally common in women of both groups), and occurred at later ages: only 2% before age 44, as against 8% among non-Adventists; 12% before 54, as against 30%; and 38% before 64, as against 62%. ¶Cancer of the mouth, larynx or gullet, which has been associated by Dr. Wynder with a combination of heavy smoking and hard drinking (TIME, June 13, 1955) was only 10% as frequent among Adventist males; the single case recorded was cancer...
...breast, prostate, stomach, colon, rectum and uterus, as well as leukemia, occurred at just about the same rates in both Adventist and non-Adventist patients. This uniformity led Drs. Wynder and Lemon to conclude that heavy cigarette smoking and hard drinking are indeed major factors in lung or mouth cancer and in hastening death from atherosclerosis (hardening) of the coronary arteries. "We propose," they said, "that smoking, though not causing atherosclerosis as such, adds to the already damaging effect of atherosclerosis upon the circulatory system." As for air pollution, they noted that more than half the subjects in both groups...
...plumage was vivid and vulgar-a sport shirt with a palm-leaf motif, sometimes a tie with a bulb-breasted nude. His Stetson sat squarely on top of his head, a cigar grew out of the right corner of his mouth, and he glinted at the world through rimless, hexagonal glasses. Readers of Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express could spot him at a glance: he was "the loud American." For the past nine years he has swaggered regularly through the frontpage, one-column panel drawn by one of England's most popular cartoonists: urbane, grandly mustached Osbert Lancaster...
...with the ample jowls swiveled happily in his seat. Cigar ash dribbled over his shirt front, and his several chins bobbled as his tight little mouth widened into a smile. Everywhere he looked he saw money. There in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum were 78,672 paying customers for the first home game of the Los Angeles Dodgers; no larger crowd had ever watched a single regular-season baseball game anywhere. So far as the Dodgers' President Walter Francis O'Malley was concerned, his team had already conquered Southern California...
...wastes within 24 hours-provided the rats were kept foodless. Next problem, said Lindenbaum, is to find out whether fasting is necessary for rhodizonate to work, or whether there is a way to get around this. Either way, he was confident that rhodizonate, which human subjects could take by mouth at the first threat of radiostrontium exposure, offers an encouraging lead toward overcoming the most dangerous hazard of fallout radiation...
