...said, insisting that on the basis of her work and that of her associate, Dr. Marvin Legator, cyclamate may well produce deformities, transmissible mutations or cancer-or all three. "Mr. Finch does not seem to consider that the next species might be human. It's impossible to predict what the effects might be in other animal species, including man, but the fact that we do have a positive result indicates the need for further investigation of its effects." Dr. Verrett accused the FDA of dragging its feet, pointing out that her conclusions were very firm almost a year...
...idea presents enormous difficulties. Seismologists would have to know exactly where and when to explode the bombs-an art that still eludes them, although they may eventually be able to predict quakes by carefully calculating earth stresses. Still more delicate would be the decision on the size of the bomb. The Miami seismologists-Cesare Emiliani, Christopher G. A. Harrison and Mary Swanson-say that the job probably could be done by high-yield nuclear devices of one to ten megatons, presumably H-bombs. But other seismologists point out that an explosion meant only to keep the earth's crust...
...weather. Astronomers use slight, variations in the sun's ultra-violet spectrum as clues to the chemical and physical reactions goingon at various depths in the sun. By comparing satellite measurements of invisible radiation with earth-bound records of the sun's visible light, scientists should be able to predict some of these reactions and their effects on earth's weather and communications. Space travelers also need accurate forecasts to warn them of outburst of dangerous radiation...
...would like to acknowledge if not gratefully notes from Steve Shalen 71 and Bob Kamilli A 1969 graduate of Rutgers, who wished to rub salt into open wounds. One fellow offered to bet me on any picks this week but I told him he must be kidding. I predict a perfect percentage today...
...Clifford's withdrawal timetable, which called for all U.S. ground combat troops to be out of Viet Nam by the end of 1970. Hanoi watched as Nixon began to reduce manpower in South Viet Nam. And it heard Senator George Aiken, senior Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, predict that Nixon will announce "another troop withdrawal for Christmas, enough to make 100,000 for this year...
