As head of FDA, Larrick fought for stiffer regulations of food additives, in 1961 prevented the sale of thalidomide because the drug was believed to cause deformed babies, and in 1963 cracked down on the sponsors of Krebiozen, whose claim that their medicine could cure cancer was proved groundless after extensive tests...
