Just as important is the Argonne plant's portability. None of its components is bigger than 20 ft. by 9 ft. by 7 ft., and none weighs more than ten tons, so it can be flown anywhere with ease and assembled on the spot. Its enriched uranium fuel supply lasts three years. Once produced in quantity for military use, it may become the long-overdue prototype of a portable U.S. reactor for underdeveloped countries...
...were quickly run up to a simulated altitude of 38.000 ft., where the bends can be expected. They suffered none. Dr. Balke asked the men to do deep knee bends every three minutes (exercise speeds the onset of the bends, intensifies the pain). Still, most of them felt nothing. Physiologist Balke ordered five knee bends every two minutes. At this, most of the men felt twinges and began the descent to higher pressures...
Type 1 virus was causing most of the Congo's paralytic polio, Koprowski and colleagues found. They gave the Chat strain in capsules to 1,978 schoolchildren, found that none got sick, and all but two developed good antibody protection. It was exactly the same later with Fox III -all but two of the children responded well. The researchers were ready for a truly big-scale test...
...have general physicians let anorexia nervosa slip away to the borderlands of psychiatry? Probably, suggests Dr. Williams, because patients often have emotional symptoms suggesting schizophrenia, and the G.P. feels out of his depth. But none of the 53 patients in this study ever needed long care in a mental hospital. And 23 of them recovered completely-some of them spontaneously, others after routine follow-up attention and reassurance. "Specialized psychotherapy," says Dr. Williams firmly, "is not indicated...
Back home in Kingsburg (pop. 23,000), Rafe's parents smiled happily when the local radio station interrupted a music program to announce his victory. But none of the town's inhabitants were very surprised. To the home-town folks, Johnson is a Samson, Paul Bunyan and Frank Merriwell rolled into one. His smoothly muscled build (6 ft. 3 in., 200 Ibs.) casts him in the mold of Jim Thorpe and Bob Mathias, great Olympic decathlon champions of the past. In high school he captained the track, basketball and football teams, is still remembered as a good infielder...
