...when FDA officials marched into the office of University of Minnesota president Nils Hasselmo to announce that the agency had imposed a hold on clinical use of Minnesota ALG. The following month university auditors uncovered evidence suggesting that Condie, director of the ALG program, had been selling a by-product of the production process and pocketing the proceeds. In November the university hired two law firms and accountants Coopers & Lybrand to delve into the ALG program.

Since 1967 the number of black families with incomes of more than $50,000 has quadrupled to more than 1 million, and with this increased wealth has come an increase in education, leisure and interest in the arts.
