The era resists the prevailing modes of musical comedy: satire and nostalgia. The '30s are not close enough for slashing satirical gibes, and not distant enough to be bathed in a glowing forgetfulness of things past.

Only half a dozen patients have been treated so far in each center. White blood cell counts, which soar as high as 200,000 per cubic millimeter in leukemia, have dropped to around 8,000#151;within the normal range. Patients with some of the chronic forms of leukemia have maintained their improvement for as long as nine months after treatment. Benefit in acute leukemia has been much shorter, but all the patients have been adults, in whom the chronic forms of the disease are more common...
