Every day, chemists synthesize new compounds or find more efficient ways of mass-producing old ones; every week, technologists put a few of them to use in industry or manufacture. A few of them, at least, are carcinogens (i.e., can cause cancer). The result, says Dr. Ivor Cornman in Cancer Research, is that the U.S. is "submerged in carcinogens, few of which we can recognize." Biologist Cornman, of the Hazleton Laboratories in Falls Church, Va., is not exercised about coal-tar derivatives used in dye-making, some oil products, chromate and uranium ore dusts: their hazards are recognized...
What Biologist Cornman wants to see is a concerted research effort to study everything in man's environment, on the chance that it would solve the riddle of many types of cancer for which the cause is still unknown. The project would resemble the mass screening, currently under way, of all substances now on chemists' shelves, in the hope of finding cures for cancer. A major difficulty: the job is so huge that it would keep hundreds of laboratories working full blast. With the chemists churning out so many new products, Dr. Cornman concedes: "We will have...
...Music Department presented the second in its spring term series of free concerts. In a program which was too long and too varied, no one would have missed the Beethoven March, nor did the somewhat uninspired rendition of Mozart's Sonata in D Major justify its inclusion. Pianists Robert Cornman and Leonid Hambro showed their grasp of the nineteenth century, however, in Schubert's Eight Variations, which predicted the styles of his successors with remarkable accuracy...
Tonight at 8:30 in Sanders Theater, the Music Department presents the second in its series of free concerts this term. Pianists Robert Cornman and Leonid Hambro will play with Alfred Howard and Abraham Marcus on percussion...
...reported Drs. Richard Ormsbee and Ivor Cornman, podophyllin cannot be used on cancer patients until someone isolates its cancer-killing element and separates that from the rest. In any sizable quantity, the root is poisonous...
