A cold hand with coarse, puffy skin may be due to an underactive thyroid, and associated with fluid in the heart sac, a high blood-level of cholesterol, and even necrosis of part of the heart muscle from a coronary occlusion...
...frigid ice sheet 7 miles from Thule, Greenland, last week, members of an Air Force recovery team continued their hunt for H-bomb parts and contaminated debris scattered by the crash of a B-52 SAC bomber last month. Searchers armed with scintillation counters came upon chunks of wreckage that caused their instruments to go off scale at their maximum 2 million counts-per-minute rate-indicating a level that was above the highest count recorded at the Palomares, Spain, crash site in 1966. To minimize the threat that the radiation poses to plant and animal life, the recovery operation...
Core Samples. SAC Major General Richard Hunziker's team-now grown to some 400 men-is using surveyors' transits to mark off a grid pattern around the crash site.

But some of the nuclear machinery may have melted into the 8-ft.-thick ice or sunk below into 800 ft. of water...
Married. Roman Polanski, 34, Polish director of many a chilling and fascinating psychological film (Knife in the Water, Cul-de-Sac); and Sharon Tate, 24, one of the boozy, bosomy denizens in The Valley of the Dolls, also featured in one of Polanski's lesser efforts, The Fearless Vampire Killers; he for the second time; in London...
