...Cosa Nostra" but ignore "La Causa Nostra" (Our Cause). We are sick of being discriminated against, stigmatized, degraded and oppressed in this country, sick of being called Mafiosi, greasers, dumb dagos, guineas and wops. We will not be scapegoats of the WASP gangster establishment, which sees a cure-all for Yankee problems in the persecution of Italian-Americans...
...Spiegelman of Columbia University has synthesized an artificial virus that is indistinguishable from its natural model and has used it to infect bacteria and produce new viruses. He and his colleagues have little doubt that they will also eventually create "friendly" viruses and use them to cure disease rather than cause it?by using the viruses to stimulate the production of the chemical products upon which health and life itself depend...
Prophylaxis is important, but man's molecular manipulations need hardly be confined to the prevention and cure of disease. His understanding of the mechanisms of life opens the door to genetic engineering and control of the very process of evolution. DNA can now be created in the laboratory. Soon, man will be able to create man?and even superman...
Their hopes for an immediate cancer cure were short-lived. The NCI's George Todaro and other researchers have since found similar enzyme activity in normal cells as well. They have also found evidence of these enzymes in human and animal embryonic tissues, thus helping to confirm the views of many scientists who believe that cancer is probably an aberration of normal cellular growth...
AVENUES OTHER THAN virology are also being explored in the search for a cancer cure. Researchers have long been aware that animal cells growing in a culture medium will stop multiplying once they come in contact with one another. But in some recent experiments at Princeton, Biochemist Max Burger found that when he stripped normal mouse cells of their membranes, they continued to grow wildly?as do cancer cells?even after they had touched. Burger thus speculates that the loss of a cell's protective coating, possibly as a result of viral infection, could lead to cancer by exposing...
