...Strangelove, 6:10, 10:05, and Lost Horizon, 4, 7:55, through tomorrow Ulysses, 4, 8 and Tropic of Cancer, 6:20, 10:20, starts Sunday...
...occasions when the proponents choose to go beyond the discussion of their facility's safety: when they tell us that anyone who knows anything about pathogenic bacteria is in favor of the research proceeding immediately, and when they say that stopping the research is tantamount to being pro-cancer...
...perhaps even more unfair is the way that the recombinant DNA researchers have managed to bring cancer into the proceedings. To listen to some of the debate at the last week's meeting is to believe that curing cancer, not researching recombinant DNA, is what is at stake. As Mayor Alfred E. Vellucci aptly noted, the parade of cancer researchers forced the councillors into an anticancer research position if they issued a longer than three-month moratorium. Such talk of cancer clearly confuses the issue. Everett I. Mendelsohn, professor of the History of Science, pointed out last week that...
...opponents of the research, perhaps because they felt so defensive about the cancer issue, decided to emotionalize the debate even further. George Wald, Higgins Professor of Biology, most notably, focussed almost entirely on an appeal to stop cancer at its environmental sources. Another opponent talked about pressure from above--University Hall specifically--to conduct this research. But, if anything, the Faculty dean's office has been passive in this debate, choosing to listen to the scientists...
...demise was followed by those of other insecticides. In October 1974, the EPA halted the manufacture and restricted the sale and use of two products that are highly effective against corn pests: aldrin and dieldrin, which had also been linked to cancer in laboratory animals. Last year, for the same reason, it placed severe restrictions on the sale and use of heptachlor and chlordane, effective termite killers. The EPA has also curtailed the use of Mirex, the pesticide that is most effective against the fire ant as well as harvester and Texas leaf-cutting varieties. Tests showed that the substance...
