Their weakness in allowing students to smoke is deplorable. Cigarettes should be checked lest they have messages on them; brand names should be erased lest they have a symbolic value.

Where there's smoke there's cancer. This is true of both cigarette smoke and automobile exhaust fumes, University of Cincinnati scientists reported last week. Dr. Clarence A. Mills, of a father-daughter research team (the other member: Dr. Marjorie Mills Porter), reported that "tobacco smoking is unquestionably and significantly related to increased lung-cancer incidence" and also that "heightened lung-cancer rates in every smoking category are further sharply increased for suburban Cincinnati men traveling 12,000 miles or more a year in motor traffic...
...Mills team checked 1,910 men and women and tracked down 531 recent deaths from lung cancer (with which they lumped cancers of nearby parts of the respiratory tract). They arrived at this breakdown: regardless of where a man lives, the smoking of pipes and cigars doubles or triples his risk of lung cancer; "moderate" cigarette smoking (16-35 cigarettes a day) multiplies the risk by four to six: heavy cigarette smoking by ten to 20. However much he smokes, a man who drives 12,000 or more miles a year in heavy traffic is exposed to exhaust fumes that...

The Russians are two blocks away. Smoke pours in the air vents; death seeps into every thought. The angry captain gives Hitler a piece of his mind, and is shot for his pains. Adolf marries his Eva and prepares his suicide. "The German people," he says bitterly, "are not worthy of me." In the canteen a girl dances dreamily in a corner, starts...
