...this attitude fits in with his having taken what, in contrast to the Herter-Kennan-Pearson end of the spectrum, might be called a right-wing or Dulles-type position on summitry and other cold-war relaxation measures. Despite his acute political trendex-consciousness, Rockefeller need therefore not be accused of political opportunism. His views seem consistent, and in this your correspondent is quite correct. Rockefeller simply represents a right-wing alternative to middle-of-the-roaders like President Eisenhower and the new Nixon, at least on fundamental issues like loyalty control and East-west negotiations. Neither family background...
...rays by factors of four to six, said Dr. Knox. A cream containing one of the best chemical screens known, para-amino-benzoic acid, will increase it a hundredfold. So .will the newest chemical sunscreen family, the benzophenones. Trouble with benzophenones is that they absorb all rays at the spectrum's blue end-including those needed for a fashionable tan. So Dr. Knox suggested that redheads and others with exceptionally fair skins who do not want to freckle use a shutout benzophenone preparation. Others less sensitive may use a para-aminobenzoic acid preparation, which will pass rays to provide...
...pathologists were looking for changes in the cells, along a spectrum from normal through slightly abnormal to precancerous and finally cancerous. There were many abnormalities that the pathologists rated as probably too minor to be significant; also, many patients had died of pneumonia or other lung diseases. Even including these cases, the pathologists found atypical cells in only 3.8% of slides from nonsmokers and 10.9% of those from occasional cigarette smokers...

"Doors are open, and some patients can come and go freely, but some are so disturbed that an attendant will ask them to wait for a little talk. The important thing is that they are asked to stay in, not physically restrained. Patients on shock treatment are asked to stay in on treatment days, for their own safety. They understand. In all, 80%-or more than 4,000 patients-have full freedom of the grounds, unsupervised, some part...
...study this mechanism, Beltsville scientists under Dr. Sterling B. Hendricks, 60, first played all the colors of the spectrum on a variety of plants. Most colors had no effect. But when red light was played on the plants, the effect was dramatic. They reacted even to a brief, 30-sec. flash of red light during a 14-hour period of darkness. Apparently programed to the proposition that a new day had begun, the plants altered growth cycles accordingly...
