TRANS-OCEAN TV will go from Florida to Cuba. FCC okayed American Telephone & Telegraph Co. plan to send U.S. programs to Cuba via "scatter propagation" system, which deflects TV waves off particles high in atmosphere, transmits them over horizon without relays...
...Life scatter-fire-and-look-for-the-oddities approach manifested in the polls has been explained away as a play for the interest of the Newspapers. which are said to be looking for this sort of thing in yearbooks. Yet in 321, this attitude extends beyond the polls. In all of its essayings into undergraduate life there is a failure to ask why. Even in the mediocre best of the lot, an article on religion at Harvard, the Yearbook holds itself to a straight reporting job, never allowing the fact to flower into truth. As a result, its record...
...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...
