When he rose out of the iron mine at 1,200 ft. per minute, Dr. Simons was as safe as science could make him. His heart beat and respiration rate were radioed directly from his chest to a monitoring physiologist. Film strapped to his forearms and chest would pick up the tracks of any cosmic particles that might crash through to his skin. A C-47 with a paramedic aboard started to track his flight. Down below, radar blips traced his path and a meteorologist turned a weather eye on the heavens. To help science, Simons carried along a good...

But a century passed before Sir Walter Raleigh in 1595 carried to Europe the first samples of "urari"-a variant of curare. Years later botanists classified the shrubs from which curare is made,* and the brilliant French physiologist, Claude Bernard, in 1856 made an important discovery: from samples supplied by Brazil's Emperor Pedro II he showed that curare paralyzes its victims by blocking transmission of impulses from nerve to muscle. Beyond that, scientists were as baffled as laymen by the mysteries of curare...

Starting with Dr. Libby's own statement that fallout has increased back ground radiation by only 0.7% to 3%, Dr. Stern estimates that even this slight increase will cause a minimum of 180,000 genetic mutations in a 30-year generation of 200 million Americans. His colleague, Physiologist Hardin Jones, backs...
Died. Dr. Juan Negrin, 64, round-faced socialist and University of Madrid physiologist, who became Loyalist Spain's last premier (May, 1937) ten months after the Spanish Civil War broke out, for two years led the crumbling republic's fight against Franco's Axis-backed forces; of a heart attack; in Paris. Left-winger Negrin got aid from Russia, later was charged by onetime Defense Minister Indalecio Prieto with having smuggled $566 million in Loyalist bullion to Russia while finance minister...
