...Mines explosives expert and a member of the investigatory panel, testified that an escape hatch capable of being opened in two or three seconds could have saved the crew. Such a hatch is now being manufactured, but the one used in Apollo took 90 seconds to open, even in normal circumstances...
Both crews started off at 40 strokes per minute but while Harvard dropped to its normal 33 -- which sagged occasionally to a 32 during the first half-mile--the Huskies took advantage of relatively flat water for the first three-quarters of a mile, kept their stroke up at 35 and 36, and moved away...
...cancer cells of necessary nutrients, but all, until now, have also had an adverse effect on healthy cells that need the same substances. L-asparaginase, says Dr. Lloyd J. Old of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute, is unique because it selectively deprives the cancer cells without harming the normal. But dependence upon asparagine does not extend to all types of cancer; it appears to be limited to some forms of leukemia and disease of the lymphatic system...
...have resulted from all the anti-leukemia drugs now in use. It will take hundreds of treated patients to show whether L-asparaginase can fulfill this one-shot promise. Of the Hayes case, Dr. Hill says: "It will take 63 more years for the boy to live out his normal life expectancy, so we'll consider it a remission until then." In all the world, there is not enough L-asparaginase to treat more than a dozen sufferers. Dr. Hill says that he is making it in Wadley's own labs, besides buying it from Washington...
...future simulations, such checks will be run. Also, pure oxygen will not be used at 16 Ibs. per sq. in. during routine manned ground tests as it was that day: the higher pressure meant that the fire spread five times as fast as it would have in a normal atmosphere. A new quick-opening hatch is also being designed, and the surprising number of combustible items aboard-including the astronauts' own space suits and the craft's insulating foam-are being redesigned using materials that are more fire-resistant...
