Plastic injection may cure voice loss say NY doctors
Dr Godfrey E Arnold leads research into using teflon powder mixed with glycerin injected into vocal cords to treat voice disorders caused by glottal paralysis. He notes injections help the vocal cords close and improve speech, but cautions therapy and six months of potential recovery must pass before considering injections.

Future manned probe to aid Mariner series
NASA scientists at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville plan a two to three spacecraft round trip to Venus and Mars to complement unmanned Mariner missions. Aimed at a multi-year mission, the proposal envisions a manned probe using Saturn C3 or Nova stages with nuclear propulsion and advanced life support, including in-space farming, water recycling, algae atmosphere control, shielding from solar radiation and meteoroids, and various return options to Earth. Plans anticipate launches in the next decade, with 1972 Mariner data followed by Voyager flybys and future crewed planetary landings.

Ice islands drift across Arctic waters in summer heat
Arctic researchers report giant ice islands breaking from Ellesmere shelf drift across Viscount Melville Sound toward MClne Strait under westerly currents. T 1 and nearby fragments travel hundreds of miles, with plans for a floating Canadian lab amid ongoing U.S. and Russian research stations.

Non-believers cause confusion in science tests
New York reports researchers Elaine Walstar and Leon Festinger doubt belief without proof. They tested overheard claims by 10 campus students and 30 who knew the talkers. The rigged conversation aimed to prove intuitive knowledge has value but lacked scientific backing.

Stanford psychologists find contrary effect in persuasion study
Scientists led by Drs. Walster and Festinger at Stanford report that fuelled by an innocuous questionnaire the effect of persuasive communication on All-Stars and subgroups showed no clear significance and even opposite results. They split smokers and non smokers and later college dormitory groups and found similar puzzling outcomes. Researchers plan to reassess methods to uncover true scientific truth.

Old Scientist Pins Fun in Science as Youth Magnet
Philadelphia report: 81 year old emeritus chemist Dr. Joel Hildebrand accepts the 1962 William Procter Prize from the AAAS affiliate, urging that science be shown as exciting and human. He says recruitment fails when science is seen as impersonal and says brains remain valuable at many ages.

Max Planck Pioneer of Quantum Theory
Max Planck born 1858 Kiel Germany rose to Berlin professor of physics in 1889. He proposed that heat and energy are emitted in tiny pulses, founding quantum theory in 1900, influencing light, X rays and atomic science. He won the 1918 Nobel Prize, joined the Royal Society in 1926, and an asteroid bears his name on his 80th birthday.

Antarctic Showers Delayed by Ice and Diesel Shortage
McMurdo Sound personnel endure a three week wait for showers as 547 000 barrels of diesel fuel and 800 personnel struggle with limited water. A tanker Chattahoochee ferries fuel through ice as crews joke about the Great Unwashed and drinking water logistics.
