His own four-year study reports lithium is "clearly effective" for severe recurrent depression. The drug is now being tested for everything from schizophrenia to alcoholism and aggressive behavior. The drug is nonaddictive but must be carefully monitored, and blood levels should be checked frequently; an overdose can bring on coma or death. Cautions Dr. Ralph...
Weighing the evidence, McCloy's committee decided that there was "no basis" on which to conclude that Dorsey knew about all of Gulf s unlawful political contributions. But the report added that Dorsey "perhaps chose to shut his eyes to what was going on. Had he been more alert to the problem, he was in a ready position to inquire about and put an end to it." To cover all this material took seven hours. The directors adjourned...
