None of them actually did get by, but Goddard cited examples of attempts that might make any physician cringe. One manufacturer of a new drug wanted to label it "effective in a few" cases of cancer. Goddard said that of 127 patients treated in trials, only five had had temporary reductions in the size of tumors; to him this was not at all effective. In another instance, the maker of a long-acting sulfa, which had been clinically proved to be effective only in treating the genitourinary tract, wanted to imply on the label that the drug could be prescribed...
...discernment situation could be fall ing in love, suffering cancer, reading a book. But it need not be a private experience. The Rev. Stephen Rose, editor of Chicago's Renewal magazine, argues that "whenever the prophetic word breaks in, either as judgment or as premise, that's when the historical God acts." One such situation, he suggests, was Watts?an outburst of violence that served to chide men for lack of brotherhood. Harvard's Harvey Cox sees God's hand in history, but in a different way. The one area where empirical man is open to transcendence, he argues...

But indicting the culprits has proved to be incredibly difficult. Most of the diseases-such as multiple sclerosis, the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that killed Lou Gehrig, parkinsonism, and perhaps myasthenia gravis-do not normally attack animals, so it is next to impossible to study them in the laboratory...
...vows by sending his limousine around to pick her up at the Library of Congress-until his death in 1954, after which she left the order to care for her mother and ailing sister, later became a successful stockbroker, a three-book author and a college humanities teacher; of cancer; in Bethesda...
