...dangerous in women: during delivery it can be transmitted to the infant; it is also linked to cervical cancer. For years, doctors have searched for a cure. Now researchers at the University of Pennsylvania may have achieved that goal. In the Journal of the American Medical Association, Drs.

The labor men, for their part, have taken to sending alternates to most meetings. The choice of AFL-CIO President George Meany, who has been recovering from an attack of chest pains, is Nathaniel (Nat) Goldfinger, his acerbic director of research, whose constant needling frequently infuriates Chairman Boldt, who is a Federal judge from Tacoma...
