...toxic ever briefed during the mission briefings that we had," he said. When the U.S. planes dropped the gas, Rose said he knew that it was tear gas rather than a nerve gas. "It burned like CS [tear gas] in the eyes; my throat felt like CS; and my skin felt like CS," he said. "CS is like a skunk--once you are exposed to it, there is no question in your mind what it is... I saw no single human being displaying any of the symptoms described for any type of toxic nerve agent...
...popular speaker on the right-wing circuit, "Heston is no middle-of-the-roader," says Thomas Catina, executive director of the American Conservative Union. "I chuckle through his speeches, thinking, 'This guy's got guts.'" Heston's rhetoric on homosexuality, feminism, multiculturalism and the skin color of the Founding Fathers has made it onto the website of white supremacist David Duke. (Headline: CHARLTON HESTON SPEAKS UP FOR THE WHITE MAJORITY!) But does it help the average duck hunter to preserve the sporting life? Or even the Second Amendment fundamentalist who believes, as Heston does, that any infringement of the "right...
...products, just out this year, that protect against both types of harmful sun rays. It used to be that the only part of the ultraviolet spectrum you had to worry about was short-intensity, UV-B radiation, which is primarily responsible for sunburns and the most likely cause of skin cancer. But then researchers discovered that UV-A, which has a longer wavelength than UV-B, does more than just promote wrinkles. It can also damage the skin's underlying connective tissue and possibly even dampen the body's immune system. Could UV-A, therefore, play a role in triggering...
...little less money, you can get all the UV-A and UV-B protection you need from titantium dioxide, a tried-and-true chemical agent that physically blocks the sun's rays (hence the name sunblock) from reaching the skin, rather than absorbing them, like most sunscreens. You remember titanium dioxide. Like zinc oxide, it's one of those gunky white pastes that lifeguards used to plaster all over themselves. Both chemicals have been reformulated so that they no longer leave a residue. But some people find that these sunblocks clog their pores or feel sticky on their skin...
...slap on a wide-brimmed hat, and you can keep 70% of the sun's rays off your face and neck. After decades of their "Slip, Slop, Slap" campaign, Australians are starting to see a decrease in their rate of deaths from melanoma, a particularly deadly form of skin cancer. That's an example worth following...
