TIME deplores atomic "spine-chilling" but manages to give it a fling . . . Despite your statement that "it may be years before the food products of Bikini are safe" [TIME, Oct. 3], dozens of us have partaken daily of Bikini's coconuts and papaya, with full clearance from both radiochemist and radio-medical officer.
