...worst fallacy in dealing with inflation is similar to the mistake we made in the past with cancer. We thought cancer was one disease and it was a matter of time until the "miracle cure" was discovered. We know now that cancer is not one but countless related diseases, and there will be a variety of cures, not one cure. Inflation is also caused by countless factors, and it is a great mistake to sit back and wait for a miracle cure...
Kimball, a onetime realty and insurance man, had undergone throat cancer and heart surgery before he took over in 1974, but he has proved to be a vigorous, globe-trotting activist. He is at his desk daily by 7 a.m., stays there till 5:30 p.m. without a lunch break, then works until 10 at the home he shares with wife Camilla. In typical Mormon fashion he attributes his vitality to the fact that "all my life, from the time I was a little boy on the farm, I have done hard work." Like other practicing Mormons, he shuns alcohol...

...study at Johns Hopkins University, Epidemiologists Irving I. Kessler and J. Page Clark questioned 519 patients with bladder cancer. The patients were asked about their consumption of saccharin and cyclamate (an artificial sweetener banned in 1970) in beverages and foods. Their answers to these and questions relating to smoking habits, occupation, diabetes and other factors were then compared with responses from 519 patients who were matched for sex, race, age and marital status but who did not have cancer or any bladder problems. The results, reported in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association, showed that consumption...
Saccharin users were also heartened when Morris Cranmer, director of the FDA's National Center for Toxicological Research, criticized the Delaney clause, the law that requires the FDA to prohibit the use of any food additive shown to induce cancer in laboratory animals. In a 700-page report to FDA Head Donald Kennedy, Cranmer argued that the law failed to take into account that the potential risk of cancer from saccharin might be outweighed by possible benefits to diabetics or the obese...
