...from a bouquet of flowers on the table. His face is somewhat puffy, his sensitive eyes watery at times, his neck baggy now under the thrusting jaw. But at 64, he looks fit -surprisingly so. Three years ago, Humphrey underwent a series of debilitating X-ray treatments for a bladder tumor that seemed precancerous. He had a severe reaction to the treatments and was flown from Waverly back to the Bethesda Naval Hospital. One staffer says he thought Humphrey was surely going to die. Blood transfusions and rest brought him back fast, and his doctors told him he was fully...
Suffers Pain. The big question is Wallace's health. He can hardly be considered fit, though his doctors pronounce him healthy enough to be President. He suffers pain around his waist and takes drugs for it. He lacks control over his bladder and bowels, though these are regulated by medical devices to spare him any embarrassment. How he would survive the stresses of the presidency is anybody's guess. President Franklin Roosevelt was also confined to a wheelchair, but only his legs were paralyzed. Still, Wallace is making the most of the comparison. Says he: "F.D.R...
...highest incidences of cancers associated with environmental pollution. A recent National Cancer Institute study (TIME, Aug. 11) shows that the industrialized and highly air-polluted Northeast has a particularly high incidence of lung cancer, as do areas where copper and lead smelters are located. The highest rates of bladder and liver cancers are found in counties with plants producing rubber and chemicals, perfumes and cosmetics, soaps and printing ink. One Ohio community, most of whose workers are employed by chemical plants, had a high rate for all three cancers...

Director Ralph Nelson (Lilies of the Field) and his writ ers evoke mocking memories of The Defiant Ones by giving Poitier his custom ary handcuffs and a weak bladder to go along with them. This combination of circumstances results in a certain amount of anguish, requiring the reluctant assistance of his unfettered friend (the exemplary Caine...
...A.C.S. based its report on a 22-year comparison of cancer statistics. Its study showed that during the years between 1947 and 1969, the overall incidence of ovarian cancer dropped 10%, cancer of the esophagus by 23%, cancers of the rectum and of the bladder (in women) by 26% each. Cancer of the uterus, which afflicts an estimated 61 of every 100,000 women a year, dropped 37% during this period; cancer of the stomach, which once affected 24 people per 100,000 every year, by 63%. The only increases: lung cancer (125%) and about 20% increases each in cancers...
