...little town of St. George, which likes to boast that "this is where the sun spends the winter," sits astride U.S. Highway 91 in southwestern Utah-and directly in the path of southwest winds blowing from the AEC's Nevada test site for underground atomic explosions, 140 miles away. Time and again since 1952, much of Utah, and especially St. George, has been showered with at least 100 and perhaps 1,000 times more radioactivity than the U.S. average.

Pendleton, the University of Utah's top expert on radiology and health, dismissed even Dr. Stewart's announcement as "the same old bunkum." Actually, eight of the 13 children studied in the hospital have been declared cancer-free; tests on the others will take more time. And 55 of the original nodule cases will...

With seven seconds remaining and Duke leading by one point, Utah's Leonard Black stepped to the free-throw line with a one-and-one situation and the chance to give the Redskins the lead. After Duke's Vic Bubes called time twice, Black missed the shot, and the Blue Devils got one more point and third place in the tournament...
