Louise Z. Reiss memoir, 2004 2004

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/224041273

Memoir by Louise Z. Reiss of her life and work in St. Louis principally on the St. Louis Baby Tooth Survey. According to her account, the baby tooth survey had no money in the beginning but the whole town of St. Louis pitched in, as the levels of strontium-90 in milk were creeping up and were reported to be the highest in the country in 1957. She volunteered to stuff envelopes but Barry Commoner of the Greater St. Louis Citizens' Committe for Nuclear Information (CNI) asked her to do scientific work on the study. Her article on the study is: REISS LZ. Strontium-90 absorption by deciduous teeth. Science. 1961 Nov 24;134:1669-73.
