...longstanding debate over the best surgical technique to combat breast cancer.

...DEMONSTRATORS who prevented the showing of Birth of a Nation Saturday night at Adams House erred seriously. By using physical intimidation to stop the presentation, they ironically aligned themselves briefly with other, repressive forces that use strong-arm tactics to prevent free expression.

...evidently a small one-only "dime-size," speculated Dr. John Lungren, the ex-President's internist. Lungren and Radiologist Earl K. Dore discovered the clot through two recently refined tests using radioactive isotopes. First they injected human albumen tagged with radioactive iodine-131 or technetium into an arm vein. The radiant particles circulated through the small blood vessels of Nixon's lungs, and a scintillation scanner took an electronic "picture" of their distribution. Nixon's scan showed a blank area on the outer side of the right lung: the clot had settled there in a small artery...
