...delighted with its simplicity. His staff had to put only one droplet in a teaspoonful of syrup, and the kids swallowed it-thus cutting out the need for hypodermic needles, which are expensive and can be dangerous. Then there was the economy: one-hundredth of the injection dose. Perhaps most important: live virus taken by mouth multiplies in the digestive tract, quickly triggers development of antibodies and protects the whole system. The Russians argue that the killed form, injected into the bloodstream, safeguards only the nervous system (against paralysis...
...additives. The law covers those already in use, with a time allowance for testers to tackle the backlog, as well as any proposed for future use. The test technique : put the additive in an appropriate food and give it to laboratory animals (150 rats, 21 dogs, at three-dose levels) for their natural lifetime or a minimum of two years. Even if the critters die natural deaths, their bodies will still be dissected to see whether any damage can be traced to the additive. If there is any suspicion of cancer, studies may be prolonged to seven years. Testing will...

He was addressing General Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes, 63, Guatemala's headstrong President, who was treating the country to a double dose of wacky crises.

...troubles with amphetamine go back almost 20 years to a time when the most popular inhaler contained Benzedrine (Smith, Kline, & French Laboratories' trade name for one form of amphetamine). Prison wardens complained that accordion-pleated paper fillers loaded with 250 mg. of amphetamine (15 times the average daily dose a doctor would prescribe for reducing or lethargic patients) were being smuggled to convicts, who chewed them and went on violent rampages. Then S.K.F. chemists found a better decongestant, propylhexedrine (not an amphetamine or a stimulant), to put in inhalers, and changed the name to Benze-drex. The problem died...
