Omar Bradley, Matt Ridgwayand Max Taylor, Nate Twining and Curt LeMay, Arthur Radford and Arleigh Burke-the very names still conjure up images of flaming cannon, of contrails across enemy skies, of destroyers heading into battle at flank speed. It detracts nothing from their successors to say that the names of "Bus" Wheeler, "Johnny" Johnson, "Dave" McDonald, "J. P." McConnell and "Wally" Greene are hardly household words...

...early in their careers and sometimes before others -or even they themselves-were aware of what was happening. Nothing is more satisfying in the professional life of a journalist. Among the innumerable examples we could cite are Willkie, Stevenson, Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson in U.S. politics; Eisenhower, Gruenther and Radford in the military sphere; Nasser, Nkrumah and Castro (whom we recognized as a Communist when he was still being widely hailed as a reforming liberal) among foreign leaders; Saarinen, De Kooning, Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Albert Finney and Shirley MacLaine in the arts...

...Harvard School of Public Health, Dr. Edward P. Radford Jr. and Dr. Vilma R. Hunt worked with polonium,* one of the rarest of the naturally occurring elements and until recently one of the hardest to detect. Many radioactive elements are found in tobacco leaves, as in all vegetation; they occur naturally and have nothing to do with man-made fallout, and they have been exonerated as causes of lung cancer. Polonium is different, the Harvard researchers reported in Science, because it vaporizes at a mere 500° C., far below the 800° temperature of a burning cigarette...

...form of gas. The amount of polonium in tobacco, as in a tossed green salad, would be negligible if, like the salad, it passed quickly through the system. But the polonium-bearing smoke appears to get trapped in the tissues and crevices of the airways, say Drs. Radford and Hunt. Because of this trapping, they suggest, polonium builds up to concentrations that are high enough so that its radioactivity could begin the process that leads ultimately to lung cancer...
