...automobile accident left Donovan's wife, Comedienne Imogene Coca, with a ruptured eyeball that Florida doctors insisted had to be removed. "I didn't want to go along with that decision," said Donovan. He chartered a plane, and flew Imogene to Manhattan. After doctors there performed corneal surgery, reconstructed the right side of her face and put her fractured leg in a cast, Donovan announced the results: "She's fine. The eye is saved...
...than 18 months ago when an Investigational New Drug exemption for the Griffin lens was issued by the FDA. Since that date, the Griffin lens has been exhaustively researched and clinically tested by a number of ophthalmologists and optometrists, including some of the country's foremost authorities on corneal pathology. The lens has been used as a moist corneal soft-protective bandage and splint for various types of corneal disease. It has also been extensively used as a normal contact lens...
...Through The Morning is about fifty percent hard core country music, expertly performed. Doug Dillard comes from a family of bluegrass musicians and plays banjo, fiddle and guitar more than competently. David Jackson, bass, piano, and cello, scales down the harshness of the other instruments: and Jon Corneal (drums) gives the music the rhythmic patterns of rock. Sneaky Pete, listed as a "Special Picker," plays a very fine steel guitar, sometimes mimicking Clark's mouthharp or the piano, sometimes taking the role of lead guitar...
...drugs are recognized as highly effective against specific viral diseases: idoxuridine (IUDR) for corneal infections caused by the fever-blister virus, and methisazone against smallpox. What exercised the virologists most last week was a third chemical, amantadine, an anti-influenza drug that the Food and Drug Administration has licensed, but under strict controls. Trade-named Sym-metrel by E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., amantadine does not cure a fullblown case of flu. But it may prevent infection if taken before exposure, and mitigate the illness if taken early enough afterward. The trouble with amantadine is that...
Lately, however, questions have arisen about possible long-range effects of Chemical Mace. A San Francisco ophthalmologist, Lawrence Rose, has squirted it at close range into one eye of each of three rabbits, whose eye structure is biologically similar to that of humans; he has caused permanent corneal scarring in one.* In Ann Arbor, Mich., the face of a Negro who was sprayed last March is still partially depigmented; Ann Arbor police have discontinued using the weapon. A Columbus reporter, Robert Mac Vicar, who was Maced in the face during Ohio State University demonstrations last fall, is suing...
