...deputies, who soon found the first dead man. What followed turned into a grisly mess that outranks the more gruesome mass murders of the recent American past: the 1966 killing of 16 by Charles Whitman, the University of Texas tower sniper; the gunning down of 13 people in Camden, N.J., by berserk Howard Unruh in 1949; the murder of eight student nurses in Chicago by Richard Speck five years ago. The Yuba City murders, like the 1969 Sharon Tate killings, had a special dimension of monstrosity. The murders were apparently executed systematically over a two-month period...
West, 48, was raised by his widowed mother on a farm in Camden, in the heart of South Carolina's horse country. After serving as an intelligence officer in the Pacific in World War II, he won his law degree from the University of South Carolina. He served four years in the state highway department and was elected to the state senate in 1954. Despite widespread support, he is now faced with an attack from the state's schoolteachers, who have demanded a $1,500 pay hike. Although seriously concerned with South Carolina's educational problems, he has promised taxpayers...
...prevalence of such particles is hardly unique to the Parsis. In a study undertaken to test the relevance of the Indian team's findings, Biophysicist Dan Moore and his colleagues at the Institute for Medical Research in Camden, N.J., analyzed milk from 166 American women. Of 156 with no family history of breast cancer, only seven (5%) showed evidence of the particles in their milk. But of ten women whose families had a history of the disease, six (60%) were found to harbor large numbers of the particles. Doctors are still reluctant to state flatly that these particles actually...
Master Molecule. Even more significant evidence of the agent's potential threat has been provided by Drs. Sol Spiegelman and Jeffrey Schlom of Columbia University. They report in Nature that a "double blind" study,* conducted both in Camden and at Columbia, showed a 100% correlation between particle concentrations and the presence of an enzyme, or chemical catalyst, which is associated with viruses known to cause cancer in animals. The experiment also revealed two startling similarities between the virus-like particles and tumor-causing RNA viruses: both have the same density and both share the ability to reverse the normal...
Promptly thrown out of the restaurant, the 35-described by onlookers as "freaks"-drove several miles down the turnpike and pulled a roadblock near the Camden exit with a U-Haul trailer and their cars. At last count, police reported that nearly 1000 "freaks" had appeared holding up cars for 25 miles...
