...permitted additives, and few have ever been tested thoroughly for possible long-term harmful effects in man. No one can be really certain that any particular substance may not induce cancer over a 50-year period, or cause thalidomide-like deformities in the unborn. Although there is only the remotest chance that even a minority might be hazardous, further testing of many additives, by chromatographic techniques that did not exist when the substances were first introduced, is clearly indicated. The FDA has already arranged with the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council to supervise such studies of saccharin...
Often they are. Thanks to the institute's experiments, hardy new strains of wheat and barley now thrive in the sun-baked Israeli soil. In medicine, its scientists have developed a tiny, magnetic catheter that can travel through human blood vessels to reach the remotest regions of the body. As the world's leading producer of "heavy oxygen," the institute supplies these radioactive isotopes for tracer work to labs around the globe. One of its most ingenious feats was achieved by Biophysicist Aaron Katchalsky, who used synthetic fibers to duplicate the perplexing process by which muscles convert...
...middle of the night." PepsiCo, which began marketing a new Diet Pepsi the day the ban was announced, attributed its switch to a burst of altruism. Big ads in newspapers noted solemnly: the "Pepsi-Cola Company cannot in good conscience offer its customers any products about which even the remotest doubt exists."

...they do it? When a youth first comes to them, draft lawyers thoroughly question him to determine whether he has even the remotest right to a deferment. Even college students are sometimes not aware of all the possibilities. Lafferty once interviewed a young man who faced induction after losing his student deferment and wanted to flee to Canada. "We talked for a while," says Lafferty, "then I found out that the kid had a child and a blind wife waiting for him outside the office." The client received an automatic deferment to support his wife. Occupational deferments are available...
...accused serviceman in the U.S. may not be deprived of his constitutional rights to a grand jury proceeding and a trial by a jury of his peers. In O'Callahan's case, Justice William Douglas wrote for the majority, "there was no connection-not even the remotest one -between his military duties and the crimes in question." Normally, the military prosecutes only about 15% of all cases against servicemen charged with serious civil offenses. The rest are handled in civilian courts. But Douglas suggested that it was high time for the military to divorce itself entirely from purely...
