Early last week, a doctor at the clinic said that because the Shah was suffering from a cold the operation had been postponed. In Washington, meanwhile, President Carter issued a careful understatement: "We have a great deal of interest in the Shah's having available to him adequate medical care." DeBakey denied there had been any controversy with the Panamanian doctors...

Her blue eyes blazing, Miriam Levinger, incongruously clad in an army fatigue jacket, blue skirt and blue bedroom slippers, stood outside the former Hadassah clinic in the old Jewish quarter of Hebron.

Still, researchers now had enough interferon to move studies out of the laboratory and into the clinic. In 1972 Virologist Thomas Merigan, of Stanford University, and a group of British researchers began studying IF's effect on the common cold.

Another 16 volunteers were subjected to the same viruses without any protection. The results...
...comes word that as many as half a dozen women at the clinic have been impregnated. Though it is far too early to predict how many of them will carry their babies to full term, Drs. Howard Jones Jr. and Georgeanna Seegar Jones, the husband-and-wife directors of the clinic, have expressed hope for a 50% success rate. Thus the odds seem to favor the birth, late this year, of the first U.S. test-tube baby...
