While I was reading the report on Margie Profet's ''radical theory,'' which proposes that menstruation protects against sperm-borne infection ((HEALTH, . Oct. 4)), an obvious hole came to mind. Human females may engage in sexual intercourse, and thereby expose themselves to potentially harmful micro- organisms, at any time during their menstrual cycle. If a woman were to have sex the day after her menstrual period ended, it would be another three weeks before her uterine lining was again sloughed off, which is more than enough time for an infection to set in. Because of this constant risk of exposure...
...method at Bell Atlantic is to decentralize operations, and John, as vice chairman, will have those kinds of responsibilities.'' Still others believe Malone will soon move on. ''It's inconceivable to me that John Malone is going to report to someone else,'' says a competitor who knows him. ''John's the smartest man I've ever met, and he had too many things going on to let Ray Smith run things. I think it says that John is ready to try something different.'' The two men are an odd couple by any standard. While they share a passionate vision...
...says. ''Some good people are getting hurt.'' Anti-Reagan forces mean to get still rougher. And Manion is the next target. Last month a last-ditch Republican effort narrowly succeeded in getting his nomination released by the judiciary committee ''without a recommendation.''

...panel had ''received testimony alleging that your company is involved in the sale or distribution of pornography.'' The letter also contained an ominous invitation: ''The Commission has determined that it would be appropriate to allow your company an opportunity to respond to the allegations prior to drafting its final report section on identified distributors.'' Failure to answer the charges within three weeks, said the commission, would ''be accepted as an indication of no objection.'' To many companies, the letter was a veiled threat of public censure and even criminal prosecution against companies that sell ''adult'' publications. At least six retail...
...internal warnings about the faulty seal design . . . There was a serious flaw in the decision-making process.'' The commission appointed to investigate the Challenger accident interviewed more than 160 people, held hearings that generated 2,800 pages of transcripts, then summarized it all in an orderly 256-page report that met the deadline set by Ronald Reagan. Led skillfully by former Secretary of State William Rogers, the 13-member group produced a document that Washington's Republican Senator Slade Gorton predicts will become a ''model for presidential commissions for years to come.'' It is a tribute to the openness...
