...hollering, 'Let's get out of here!' I tried to go down a ladder, but it was jammed up with men. So I went through the fire." Hubert Saunders, 59, was painting a door on the topmost level inside the "gun barrel," a concrete and steel-plated tube that sheathes the missile. "I looked down and saw smoke coming up," says Saunders. "I heard a man crying, 'Help me, God help me!' But I couldn't see him. I was in the tube. The missile was in there. I got out of there...
...positive evidence that the plastic teeth will hold up, the researchers exhibit a steel laboratory tray chewed into a shapeless mass by a baboon who did no damage to his implants in the process. Another baboon has three plastic implants supporting a two-tooth bridge in the front of his lower jaw; he has worn down the artificial teeth from savage chewing on metal caging, but they have not loosened. Not until his animal research is finished will Dr. Hodosh go back to making implants in human mouths...
...Sean F. Mullan begins with a simple injection of anesthetic into the side of the neck, just below the skull-one place where the spinal cord and its multiplex nerve cables are not completely encased in bone. Then he inserts a hollow, stainless-steel needle, only one hundredth of an inch in diameter, and guides the needle toward the nerves he wants to deaden with the aid of instant X rays that an assistant hands to him every ten seconds. One group of nerve fibers in the spinal cord serves the legs, another the trunk, and a third the arms...
With Shell Oil and Esso, West Germany's Thyssen steel interests two weeks ago formed a new company, Thyssengas A.G., to import Dutch gas by pipeline and expand its market in the industry-rich Ruhr by vigorous price cuts. In The Netherlands, the Gasunie marketing combine expects a complete changeover by household gas users to natural Groningen gas by the end of 1966. Because natural gas yields twice as much heat as manufactured gas-and thus requires less gas for the same task-most appliances must be scrapped or substantially modified in the process. One result: mountains of discarded...
...stocks of coal above ground have doubled in the last seven months, the West German government last week bowed to election-year pressures and decided to increase subsidies to its faltering coal industry, which already receives more than $150 million a year in subsidies. If the European Coal and Steel Community approves, Bonn will pick up another $11 million tab this year in order to let miners spend part of their time at repair work instead of digging, will guarantee $60 million in bank credits to buy surplus coal and spend $40 million more over four years to store...
