...this lack of research or lack of progress?" asked Saltonstall, a senior member of the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee chaired by Texas Democrat Lyndon Johnson. "Does this indicate that we are headed for second best in 1960 or 1964? So let us not sell ourselves short ... There is a great deal of difference between making a judgment based on estimates of what we think the Soviets are doing and making a judgment based on what we know we are doing . . . We shall never be the underdog if we keep...
...Grandma and her grandma used to say that the best way to treat a burn was to hold it under the spout (cold water, naturally), but later generations of medical scientists have pooh-poohed the idea. Now, University of Utah researchers are convinced that grandma was right: cold (not iced) water or a cold wet pack is the best first aid for burns, should be started within seconds or minutes to do the most good. Principal beneficiary of the research is the U.S. Navy, which paid for it. Navymen are exposed to many burn hazards and usually have plenty...
THIS summer more than 225,000 travelers who wanted to catch their breath and feast their eyes have stopped in the small (pop. 19,000) upstate New York glass-manufacturing center of Corning.

Last week, at the first International Co'ngress of Radiation Research in Burlington, Vt., Brookhaven National Laboratory's Dr. Howard J. Curtis reported evidence that a single modern fluoroscopic examination of a pregnant woman's pelvis will shorten her child's life by two weeks...
...Down. By 8:30 Diane had 15 aspiring contestants crammed into her seedy Seventh Avenue office. Not all of them had been picked off the street-some hopefuls apply by mail, some are chosen from a show's studio audience, others are found by research, e.g., when a show-packaging firm needed a couple that had just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, phone calls to catering services finally found one. Wherever they came from, Diane's victims were first subjected to a deceptively friendly interview. Within minutes she knew whether they had the scrubbed All-American look that...
