...movie's end, unanswered questions scatter like clouds into the audience. If it were merely an idea-movie, however, these questions might not seem so important. Perhaps, the most striking thing about the movie is the photography. It contrasts the scarred fields and broken buildings of war-time with the prison that is LaGuen's home afterwards. During the war the fields and buildings lie empty about the people, dwarfing them, but in prison the shots are dramatic individual close...
Dental. The average dental X ray now delivers 5 r., but this is only to the jaw: the "scatter" radiation reaching the gonads from this is a mere .005 r. in a man and .001 r. in a woman. It would thus take 2,000 X rays to deliver a presumably damaging 10 r. to a man's gonads. Even so, notes the Journal of the American Dental Association, the currently used 5-r. doses are unnecessary. In the same issue, Radiologist Lewis E. Etter of Pittsburgh tells dentists how (by using higher voltages, better filters, faster films, shorter...
...range on a film 14 by 17 in. delivers .06 to .1 r. to the chest, about .001 r. to the gonads. At the 24-in. ranges used in mass chest surveys, the dosages go as high as 2 r. to the chest, but the scatter to the gonads is scarcely increased. But fluoroscopy, in which the image is viewed instantaneously on a screen, takes longer, may entail 3 to 10 r. per minute to the chest and .1 to .4 r. per minute to the gonads...
...demonstration by waving. Kindly desist." At fabled Trebizond, where Xenophon's weary Ten Thousand finally reached the sea, the police tried to whisk Gulek from the dock to party headquarters in a car. When he insisted on making the trip by foot, they used clubs and jeeps to scatter the crowds that gathered to catch sight of him. At a later stop, a provincial subgovernor ruled that it would constitute a political meeting if a cafe proprietor pushed a few tables together for Gulek's party. Still another ruling: anything Gulek said while standing up must be considered...
Alabama (26 votes): Headed by Senator John Sparkman (who hopes to be on the ticket with Adlai Stevenson again), the delegation is expected to give Stevenson at least 17 first-ballot votes, scatter the rest, e.g., Lyndon Johnson ½, Stuart Symington 1, Richard Russell...
