...therapy, preferably beginning as early as age 30. With proper professional caution, he insists that a woman should take hormones only under a doctor's care, and should have a Papanicolaou smear test every year. The test serves a dual purpose: besides being a precautionary check for early cancer, the smear is read to show what percentage of the woman's vaginal cells are healthy, prime-of-life types, as compared with the cells of old age. Dr. Wilson calls this "the femininity index" and says it should...
Since increasing numbers of reputable, middle-of-the-road gynecologists and other doctors have taken to prescribing estrogens, even though they may not accept Dr. Wilson's more extravagant claims, two questions are constantly reiterated: How safe are the hormones? Could they eventually cause cancer? The answers are surprisingly clear. If a woman takes only the prescribed dose-but no more-the hormones seem to be perfectly safe. The only patients for whom they emphatically should not be prescribed appear to be those who have already had cancer of the breast or uterus, those with liver disease, and (just...
...Potash. Dubinsky's blend of social conscience and business acumen is shared by Patton, 63, who announced his retirement at the N.F.U.'s annual convention in Denver. Patton, who wears a piratical black patch over his left eye (it was removed in a cancer operation), built the N.F.U. from a struggling organization of 80,681 dirt-poor, Dust Bowl farm families to its present eminence as one of the Big Three of U.S. agrarian lobbies, with a membership of 750,000-mostly small farmers-in 40 states. Under Patton, the son of a union leader, the N.F.U...
...trying to sweep fallout dust under the rug. Dr. Robert C. Pendleton, the University of Utah's top expert on radiology and health, dismissed even Dr. Stewart's announcement as "the same old bunkum." Actually, eight of the 13 children studied in the hospital have been declared cancer-free; tests on the others will take more time. And 55 of the original nodule cases will be restudied in May by impartial experts under PHS auspices. They will then be watched closely for years in a search for final answers to all the questions about Utah fallout...
...menage a trois with a Belgian couple in London, dictating his diary to his host's wife and patting the heads of her nine children. Finally discharged from the consular service for "inattention to duty," he lived on with the Belgian widow, under sentence of death from cancer of the throat. In 1902, he died at 65 in the best Western tradition, with his boots on and almost broke: leaving an estate of $1,800 and a story in progress on his table...
