Whether the end result is a deadly illness or a striking change in the next generation, the impact of genetic mutations caused by radiation is not fully understood. To learn more about these effects, Cornell University Scientists Richard Holsten, Michiyasu Sugii and Frederick Steward conducted an experiment of elegant simplicity. They irradiated single carrot cells in a growth-stimulating broth of coconut milk, planning to grow them into complete plants. Thus any mutations that showed up on the complete plan could be traced back with assurance to radiation-caused changes in the chromosomes of a single microscopic cell...
...seldom provocative. Now the old order is changing. Last week the Rev. Daniel A. Poling, 81, announced that on Jan. 1 he will retire as editor after 40 years on the job. A conservative in his politics as well as his religion, Poling will be replaced by Ford Steward, 56.

Apparently he found that he was not busy enough, for last week, at 55, Nkrumah began yet another career. Hearing rumors that two generals were gossiping about him, he decided that his army needed new leadership, began casting around...
...have angered the union leaders were not intentionally scheduled by American Motors; they were caused by periodic shortages of auto bodies. The shortages developed when large numbers of bodies, rejected by inspectors for faulty workmanship, were sent back for repair instead of on to the assembly plant. The union steward whose firing precipitated the strike was discharged for refusing to let his men in the Kenosha body plant work overtime-work that would have provided more bodies, thus making unnecessary the short work weeks in the assembly plant...
