...Government officials. Doctors have long suspected that asbestos dust is hazardous; there has been ample documentation of increased incidence of lung disease and cancers among people exposed to the mineral. As early as 1961, Dr. Irving Selikoff, 59, of New York's Mount Sinai Hospital, and Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, 61, of the American Cancer Society, confirmed the deadly relationship in studies of workers at a Paterson, N.J., asbestos plant. They documented their work in scientific papers and meetings. They also showed that even small quantities of asbestos fiber could be lethal. Selikoff studied a woman who died...
...early disappointment on the squad is the loss of an outstanding freshman prospect at 150, John Cuyler. A three-time New York State champion and the 1971 Tourney's outstanding wrestler. Cuyler "could have wrestled for a national champion such as Oklahoma State" according to Lee. But the freshman has decided to postpone entering Harvard for another year. "He would have easily replaced Pat Coleman and been far ahead of anyone else here," Lee sighed...
Harvard will now rely on freshman Borris Holmes or junior Jerry Hall at 150. Lee feels they both have talent but may not withstand the season's demands. "A wrestler has to be outstanding to win consistently at these lower weights, and Cuyler was," Lee said. "Holmes is good, but he may be discouraged by the prospects of losing. Hall did not wrestle last winter and still has to prove his determination to stick with...
Last week, in the hope of demolishing that argument, American Cancer Society researchers reported that of 36 beagles they had trained to smoke heavily, twelve had developed lung cancer. The cancer victims had smoked seven to nine unfiltered cigarettes a day over a 21-year period. That, Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond figured, was the equivalent of a man's smoking almost two packs a day for 18 years, after making allowance for the beagles' size and shorter life span. Two of the dogs' cancers were indistinguishable from human smokers' lung cancer; the remaining ten were...
