...lost control. Last week Roland Slatzer, 80, was paroled after serving one year for running down and killing three girls playing at the edge of a street in Naples. As for Karmiol, she is finally off the highway, but only because a prosecutor found a dusty rule allowing a retest of her driving skills. Rather than take it, she gave up her license...
...spacecraft parted company on Saturday, the two teams of spacemen had spent some 44 hours linked together. As Apollo pulled away, it blotted out Soyuz's view of the sun, creating an artificial solar eclipse that the cosmonauts photographed for astronomers. The ships then redocked briefly in a retest of the docking system, but this time the hatches remained closed. Before long the ships separated for the last time. As Soyuz pulled ahead under a gentle thrust from its rockets, the spacemen bade each other a final radio farewell. "Mission accomplished," said Leonov. "Good show," said Stafford...
...proved, these nonaggressive convicts could safely be paroled from custody-and from an environment bristling with guns and guards that provides a spur to violence. Now a psychiatrist at New York's Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, Kinzel has applied to the New York State Department of Correction to retest his theory on prison inmates whose susceptibility to violence will not be known to him beforehand. By measuring their intolerance to physical intrusion, Kinzel is confident that he can pick them out of the crowd...
...private cars were serviced as intensely as commercial planes, each driver would need three full-time mechanics, and his auto would be fully inspected before every trip, however short. As for pilots, the airlines select only one applicant out of 20, spend $1,000 an hour to train him, retest him every six months, send him back to flight school once a year, and pay him up to $40,000 a year. With rare exceptions, the pilots are well worth it. Says Jerome Lederer, director of the Flight Safety Foundation and one of the nation's top air-safety...
Beauty of the technique is the exceptional clarity that acridine orange gives to a malignant cell: it glows sharply in a field of normal cells. When the Army team tested 4,995 cervical and vaginal smears with acridine orange, they detected 171 "suspicious" cases compared to 156 in a retest by the Papanicolaou technique. When they later did biopsies on nine of the 15 Papanicolaou "negatives," they found cancer in seven cases. This does not necessarily mean that the new method is more accurate. But it can definitely speed up cancer screening. At Walter Reed, cell-smear staining with acridine...
