...Kill or Cure. Most ills in Viet Nam, of course, are the fault of the Viet Cong. Outside the capital, the Communists concentrate on cutting supply lines. The railroad to Hue, South Viet Nam's ancient Buddhist center far to the north, has not been used for a year. Route 4, over which most of the rich harvest of the Mekong Delta moves to Saigon, is mined with jolting frequency.

"The flowers are just a little thing to keep me from being depressed until a cure is found for diseases like cancer and arteriosclerosis." To help in that pursuit, the Lasker Foundation supports medical research, presents two annual awards of $10,000 each, one for basic research, the other for clinical studies. The foundation also hands out each year three $2,500 awards for outstanding medical reporting in magazines, newspapers, and on television...
