...Denying that UFOs exist simply because they "elude technical explanation" is typical of what the American public is expected to accept on this subject. Methane is inflammable but not musical! If, indeed, these objects were such stuff, whence came the whine? Methane is also odorless, a blessed quality lacking in your story. TIME has been scooped by Frank Mannor and all the rest of us who have had a glimpse of the century's greatest mystery...
...anti-fungal prescription market in the five months it has been available. Says Dr. Harry Robinson Jr. of the University of Maryland Medical School: "If the diagnosis of athlete's foot is correct-and often it is not-then treatment with Tinactin is 100% effective." The colorless, odorless, stainless liquid has no known side effects, and it works as well on nearly every other form of external fungus infection. In fact, Tinactin's impressive qualities have already earned New Jersey's Schering Corp. permission from the Food and Drug Administration to call the new medicine a "cure...
...atom contains only one proton and one electron, which makes it the lightest element known to science. It is completely colorless, completely odorless. And it is that ultimate simplicity that has earned for hydrogen some of the most sophisticated jobs in modern science. Refrigerated into a liquid state, hydrogen is helping physicists to peer into the heart of the atom, to trace the fleeting histories of the smallest building blocks of matter. Space scientists are depending on it to launch the Apollo spacecraft that will take the first U.S. astronauts to the moon...
This spring, selected postmen will set out on their rounds armed with slim aluminum cans shaped like outsize perfume atomizers. If a dog attacks, it will be greeted with a jet of "Halt," an odorless fluid containing mineral oil and an extract of cayenne pepper. Halt's pungency irritates the dog's respiratory system, has not yet given the Humane Society any cause for complaint. Says one safety engineer: "The dog puts his tail between his legs and slinks away to the back of the house." Where, no doubt, he meets the milkman...
...last the chemists isolated a small drop (20 mg.) of colorless, oily stuff, odorless to humans but with an enormous attraction for male gypsy moths. It could be diluted almost endlessly. Less than one ten-thousandth of a billionth of a gram (10 -7 microgram) of it was enough to bring eager males fluttering out of the woods. When the potent oil was analyzed, it proved to be a surprisingly simple chemical (10-acetoxy-1-hydroxy-cis-7-hexadecene) that can be synthesized for $5 per Ib. Dr. Jacobson has about 1 Ib. on hand. If it were diluted...
