To get test-drilling equipment in, men had to head-carry 90 tons of materials up eight miles of mountain trails through dense forests of mahogany and ironwood. When this high-grade iron-ore range gets into full production, Liberia's income will have doubled to $40 million a year-just...
...serious is the threat presented to man by fallout-the radioactive debris that settles invisibly over the earth after test explosions? Reactions range from unconcern to the near side of panic. Alarmed by recent announcements of sizable fail-out increases over North America since the U.S. and Soviet nuclear tests in October, a subcommittee of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy held hearings last week, listened to scientists' reports addressed to two pivotal questions: How much of fission's byproducts -notably strontium 90, which enters the body in food, accumulates in the bones and may cause leukemia...
