URANIUM FEVER has hit the huge Pacific Northwest Pipeline Corp., soon to build a $168 million pipeline from New Mexico's San Juan gas field to West Coast markets (TIME, Dec. 27).

Victims & Packs.

In this category, there were only two deaths among men who had never smoked-a 32-month rate...
...likelihood goes up with the amount smoked: if a light smoker (up to 15 cigarettes daily) has X chance of larynx cancer, a 16-to-34 man has almost double that chance and an over-35-a-day smoker nearly four times that chance. Noninhaling cigar and pipe smokers run about the same risk as 16-to-34 cigarette men (higher, relatively, than their risk of lung cancer...
