Executives averaged 50½ years old, but fewer of them had high blood pressure (of the simple type, apparently with no other disease) than the nonexecutive males of the same age: 6.1% as against 7.5%.

So did the combination of high blood pressure with heart-and-artery disease: 2.8% compared with 3.7% of subordinates...

The chances are that they will not be used for military purposes; chemical rockets can toss H-bombs cheaper and better. The role of nuclear rockets will be to carry large payloads to orbits around the earth or to the nearer parts of the solar system. They will be particularly good for ferrying supplies to an orbiting space-station. The engine will use only a small part of its uranium fuel during each trip, so if the space-ferry is recoverable...
