...story that Witness Oppenheimer had called a "complete fabrication" when the Washington Times-Herald printed it two years ago.

During the war he worked on atomic projects in California, at Oak Ridge and at the Los Alamos laboratory run by his brother Robert, and had received a letter of praise from Major General Leslie R.

A recent advance saves many patients who have a vital...
Sure enough, "2,6" prolonged the life of leukemic mice by 60%. It destroyed or controlled rat tumors. It killed other tumors in test-tube cultures. On human patients, it acted as a palliative, but not a cure. It has secured "remissions," for instance, for a few leukemic children...
