Last week came one of the first serious attempts to treat the Sputnik Syndrome. In a Senate speech Massachusetts' Republican Senator Leverett Saltonstall prescribed equal doses of common sense and facts. Far from wallowing in the Soviet technological wake, said he, the U.S. has made historic progress. Items: > The intermediate-range ballistic missile Thor has been put into production, and the intercontinental ballistic missile Atlas has been successfully tested at full power...
...Grandma and her grandma used to say that the best way to treat a burn was to hold it under the spout (cold water, naturally), but later generations of medical scientists have pooh-poohed the idea. Now, University of Utah researchers are convinced that grandma was right: cold (not iced) water or a cold wet pack is the best first aid for burns, should be started within seconds or minutes to do the most good. Principal beneficiary of the research is the U.S. Navy, which paid for it. Navymen are exposed to many burn hazards and usually have plenty...
Where Sutherland's high school films treat simple reactions and phenomena, his college productions will be attempts to show visually two of the most basic theories of physical chemistry-the concept of molecular vibration: taught by Nobel Prizewinner Linus Pauling, and famed Chemist Henry Eyring's study of reaction kinetics. The idea that such theories, normally discussed in detail in junior-year college chemistry, might be presented in films belongs to Dr. Thomas Jones of the National Science Foundation, who conceived the project as a Brussels Fair exhibit. But "the U.S. Government is very poor," Chemist Eyring observes...
...testified that she saw Treloar walk into the cell and hit Daniel "ten or twelve times" with a club. Another white prisoner testified that on another occasion the sheriff caught Daniel "hollering out a window," clubbed him "three or four times." Respected Dr. Maubry McMillan, summoned at midnight to treat the stricken Daniel in jail, said Treloar told him: "I had to tap him on the head." Another physician testified that Daniel died nine days later of a brain hemorrhage...
When people lose all desire to eat, for no apparent physical or emotional cause, doctors call it anorexia nervosa (nervous lack of appetite). For three generations they have argued about how best to treat it, with recent opinion favoring an analytic type of psychiatry. Now in the British Medical Journal, a brusque, no-nonsense Welshman indicates that it is time to boot the psychiatrists out and pump the patient full of food. His simple reasoning: the only treatable aspect of the baffling disorder is starvation, and the cure for starvation is food...
