...most responsible by virtue of supporting the U.N.-Pope Pius XII (or "the pope of Vatican City" as Knorr calls him), Monsignor Thomas A.

Overwhelmingly, the assembly approved a resolution denouncing such leaders who "turn their backs on Jesus Christ."

Beck of Manhattan's Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center manned a demonstration booth to show general practitioners how easily they can now do just this in their own offices-with gadgets that look like babies' croup kettles. They generate a "superheated Aerosol," a mist containing minute droplets of 15% salt solution and 20% propylene glycol (a wetting agent) at 125° F. The patient inhales this hot fog for half an hour.
