When Harvard police make an arrest, the suspect is booked in Cambridge city jail. Cambridge police are also called in for all crimes against person, and in the past, the dependence of the Harvard force on Cambridge for investigative work has been almost complete. Although Gorski knows that this dependence will have to continue in part, he is trying to bring some of those investigative skills to Harvard...
What makes laetrile so in demand is what the Krebs claimed was its "antineoplastic" activity. That means it's supposed to shrink tumor growth, or as they say in medicine, cure cancer. People who are convinced laetrile will arrest their cancers sometimes manage to get around the FDA, and one particularly desperate man in Oklahoma City who won a case last month was granted a six-month supply of laetrile.

As recently as last December, he remarked to two foreign visitors, "I can convoke my ministers, generals and relatives whenever I like." After all those decades of absolute power, the old man apparently could not grasp that he had been rendered absolutely powerless...
