...have radiation-induced lung cancer. Since the dosage of radiation is relatively low, the effects do not appear for many years, yet they do surface eventually. Doctors at the Shiprock Indian Hospital treating the miners have found that neither radiation therapy nor surgery arrests the cancers' development. This rare type of small-cell carcinoma is diagnosed usually less than a year before the time it claims its victim...
...like sophisticated radar, can calculate an ICBM's length and diameter and thus contribute significantly to SALT II verification. Reason: under the expected terms of the accord, if such dimensions are increased or decreased by more than 5%, the weapon would have to be designated as a "new type" of missile and be subject to a sharp limitation on deployment. (Some critics of SALT caution that the margin of error in measurement still makes it impossible to determine whether Soviet missiles exceed the size limits.) Missile takeoffs are monitored by ground bases to the west. With the closing...

Exchanging their designer jeans and Christian Dior shirts for fire-resistant jumpsuits, they climb behind the wheels of souped-up sedans?Chevrolets, Fords, Oldsmobiles-?or a Sunday afternoon of racing. And once the gentlemen have started their engines, they often revert to type, crowding each other, even banging fenders, at 170 m.p.h., just as the mythic forebears of their sport dueled with the revenooers on the back roads twisting through the Appalachian Mountains...
