...back to the ancient drawings from the caves of Altamira that he saw in his youth. "One must refine the magical sense of things," he said, and the symbols and signs he created-a scribble for a bird, a bristle of lines for a star, a target for a breast-were images deeply lodged in the racial unconscious. Those included sexual symbols. There is scarcely a Miró painting that does not somewhere contain his icons for the female and male genitals, as isolated from sensual context as the biologist's symbols, and just as unvoluptuous. Male phalluses...
...Houston. He flew to Sweden to observe Strander's work, and soon became a convert. Says he: "There was no question. He was having good results." Back home, Gutterman obtained money from a private foundation to buy enough Finnish IF to try it on 38 patients with advanced breast cancer, multiple myeloma or lymphoma. Again the results were encouraging. Seven of 17 breast cancer patients had positive results, as did six of ten with myeloma and six of eleven with lymphoma...
Midway during this study, with some favorable response already obvious, Gutterman applied to the A.C.S. for money to expand the research. To support his appeal, he noted among other evidence the response of his first breast cancer patient: "She had a mass under her left arm, and couldn't raise her arm. Within 48 hours of her first injection, she could lift it." Another breast cancer victim is in remission after 15 months of interferon therapy. Gutterman also reports a wide range of sensitivity among patients, some showing improvement within 48 to 72 hours and a 50% reduction...

Today's IF test subjects must meet highly specific requirements, called "protocols." For example, eligible participants might include 1) breast-cancer patients, but only if surgery and radiotherapy have failed to halt the disease, 2) myeloma victims, and 3) patients with types of lymphoma that do not respond well to conventional treatment. The choice is also usually made from among patients already under treatment at a center where interferon is being tested...
