...population directly exposed to 2,4,5-T presumably does not exceed five per cent (and may even be one per cent or less) of the total population of Vietnam, although this must be more accurately determined from precise spray data. This factor alone strikingly dilutes any apparent effects of the spraying on birth statistics when those directly exposed are added to the total statistics of the country, but this effect is even more accentuated by the fact that most of this population is necessarily in remote and usually insecure areas and therefore information regarding medical effects...
...military sprays herbicides in Vietnam from planes, helicopters, and some ground equipment. Most of the spraying, though, is done from C-123 cargo planes. In the seven years preceding 1961 more than 11,000 spray flights were made by these planes; each flight effectively kills vegetation in an area approximately 85 meters wide and 15 kilometers (81/2 miles) long...

Unlike many Los Angeles artists who rely on an even, machine-like finish, Moses' work is nuanced: hints of abstract expressionism are never far away. Byrn Verde is a sheet of canvas sewed and patched with delicate arabesques of thread and crosshatched with fine bleeding lines, then...
