BLACK JOURNAL (Shown on Wednesdays). This week the magazine program includes a look at all-black Roosevelt City, outside Birmingham; a report on Howard University's research on sickle-cell anemia, the debilitating blood disease indigenous to the Negro; interviews with Actor William Marshall and Playwright Ed Bullins, with an extract from the latter's A Son Comes Home; and a fascinating look at children's games compiled by Leon Bibb...
Truffaut's later films have seemed, for the most part, to go too far out or too close in. Partly to encourage backers who were dismayed at the commercial anemia of his critical successes, Truffaut in The Soft Skin abandoned the visual conceits of, narrow and widening screen and rocketing flashbacks that characterized his previous works. Skin was a mild film of convention that won few admirers. Fahrenheit 451, starring Oskar Werner and Julie Christie, was his only true failure, an atypically emotionless sci-fi attempt to show the future as nightmare. The fact, of course, that...
Mental Malnutrition. The importance of many vitamins to human health, although commercially overexploited, is well documented. What has been too often overlooked, Pauling complains, is that most of the vitamin-deficiency diseases, such as scurvy, pellagra and pernicious anemia, give early warning of their onset. Months or even years before the physical signs appear, there are changes in mental processes. To Pauling, this suggests simply that the brain is more sensitive than most other organs to even a mild deficiency. He would broaden the range of "essential nutrilites" to include vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids, and probably a host...
...found to kill a wider variety of bacteria than penicillin or other early antibiotics. Better yet, it was one of the first drugs to show activity against some odd ball microbes called rickettsiae. But Chloromycetin soon showed another side of its character: a few patients developed a severe anemia after taking it, and by 1952 it was clear that some of these patients had died as a result. The question arose: Under what conditions should doctors go on prescribing...
Doctors' journals carry frequent accounts of severe anemia and deaths associated with Chloromycetin. A fatality rate of 58% has been reported among newborn infants treated for pneumonia or diarrhea. Also widely reported was a judgment of $180,000 against Parke, Davis in the case of a California woman who died seven years after receiving Chloromycetin...
