...disagrees with the Catholic hierarchy on abortion and contraception is an anti-Catholic. But certain ugly notes recur. Two years ago, the Chicago chapter of the Planned Parenthood Federation sent a mailing to college newspapers that included a cartoon showing a Catholic bishop clutching a gasoline can to his breast as if it were a Bible; he was on his way to torch an abortion clinic. In 1972 the Xerox Corp. published a booklet directed at elementary and high school students called Population Control: Whose Right to Live? The authors, two independent university professors, implied that Pope Paul...
Some families seem to be lightning rods for cancer. Malignant tumors of the breast, colon and other organs appear in family members with distressing frequency through the generations. Though these families can be identified, there has been no way to predict which individuals will develop cancer and thus no way to assure that their cancers will be detected early and treated. But now, for one such family, all that is changed. At Boston's Beth Israel Hospital, doctors for the first time have discovered an inherited chromosomal defect that seems to be a marker of cancer within a family...
...cheap and exquisite, and the electric atmosphere is both friendly and engrossing at once. But the experience is a foreign one for the most--the spectacle of that painted statue parading down Salem St. with hundreds of howling citizens begging to pin whatever they can afford onto its breast is both repelling and gracious. In America, money seems to accomplish more than prayer, and the religious festival originated in its current form at the turn of the century, when Little Italies sprawled across cities like Boston and New York, full of poor but faithful immigrants...
...murders of up to 36 women in four different states. At the Miami courthouse to record and broadcast his trial were the crews of three major networks and some 22 television stations. Last week, when the prosecutor showed the jury photographs of bite marks on the buttocks and breast of a victim's corpse, a TV "pool" camera man and a still photographer in the first row of the press section took it all in -though they refrained from closeups, and some stations edited out the more grusome shots...
Preventive surgery for breast cancer even before the disease is diagnosed? The idea sounds highly unpromising, but at least two surgeons are now performing such prophylactic mastectomies. Dr. Henry P. Leis Jr. of New York City limits the surgery to women who have already had one cancerous breast removed. In 17% of these patients, reports Medical World News, tissue examinations revealed undiagnosed cancer in the breast. Dr. Charles S. Rogers of Bay City, Mich., has taken the theory a step further by performing double mastectomies on women who had no apparent signs of the disease but were judged prone...
