Since the March 1954 thermonuclear test explosion in the Marshall Islands, the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory at San Francisco has been checking the radioactivity of animals, plants, materials, etc., in the vicinity of the crater. In Science, Herbert W. Weiss and William H. Shipman tell what they found when they checked the flesh of two giant "killer" clams (Tridacna gigas) collected last year from the shore of Rongelap atoll, 150 miles away from the South Pacific test site...
Better Chemists. Weiss and Shipman dried the clam flesh, reduced it to ash and dissolved the ash in dilute acid. The solution showed characteristic gamma rays that could come only from cobalt 60. This was odd, they thought; cobalt 60 is not a fission product, and it had not been found in other radioactive material, even in samples from much closer to Ground Zero. To make doubly sure. Weiss and Shipman ran a careful analysis. One clam proved to contain one-tenth of a microcurie of cobalt 60; the other had one-third of a microcurie...
...Thanks to Turf Columnist Evan Shipman's complaint, New York's Metropolitan Jockey Club belatedly arranged to televise its last race of the spring meeting: the $111,700 mile-and-a-furlong Wood Memorial. And thanks to the desperate courage of Belair Stud's big bay colt, Nashua, closing from behind in the final jump to nip Mrs. John W. Galbreath's Summer Tan by a neck, millions of televiewers saw a thriller...
...early fight for recognition and less to outlining the General Education program and plans for the Graduate Quadrangle. But his book will certainly be worthwhile reading not only for Radcliffe students and alumnae, but because of McCord's generally excellent choice of material, for others as well. CARLOTA G. SHIPMAN...
...maturity, the hefty, muscular look that horsemen associate with sprinters had taken on some of the longer, stringier look associated with stayers. The result, remarked the Morning Telegraph's Evan Shipman, is a sort of "intermediate conformation" that may some day become fixed as "the American horse," a kind versatile enough to win the big ones at both short and long distances. "The Dancer," said Bill Winfrey, "has grown from boy into...
