...last week in the museum's basement, surrounded by museum staffers and Chinese and Japanese scholars, Director Fuller placed the wood boy face down on an improvised operating table and made his incision with a sharp, small-bladed knife. Ultraviolet examination had shown that Golden Boy had already undergone an operation, and Fuller cut along the old, virtually imperceptible scar.* He cut carefully through a top layer of paint (probably put on 700 or 800 years ago), then through a layer of gesso, a layer of lacquer, one of bronze and finally of the statue's original gold...
Parke, Davis reports no potency problems. Partisans of what has come to be known as the Reese method of ultraviolet inactivation contend that it definitely produces a superior vaccine. Of this there is no proof. But there is reason to fear that some vaccine already used may have been no more potent than colored water in conferring protection against paralytic polio. A further unanswered question is the effect of storage on potency. Manufacturers may store vaccine under refrigeration for six months after potency testing; once it is released from their coolers, it must be used within six months. All vaccine...
...freshman Senator spelled out what he declared to be specific flaws. "While many of our farmers cannot get their crops to market over muddy roads," said Farmer Talmadge, "we build a huge six-lane turnpike in Portugal to a gambling resort.

Discussing the hazards of space travel, Whipple discounted solar radiation, X-rays and ultraviolet light. He said that the effects of such radiation on spaceships could be controlled by regulatory reflection...
...radio equipment to communicate with spaceships and inhabited satellites. The probable reactions of human bodies and minds to space conditions have been carefully investigated, mostly by Air Force physicians. Other scientists have tried to predict how much damage will be done to spaceborne objects by solar X rays and ultraviolet rays, and by micrometeorites. Still others have worked on instruments for space navigation, on how to select space crews, how to train them and how to keep them alive with the least possible amount of food and oxygen...
