Rescue Effort. At the Children's Cancer Research Foundation in Boston, Drs. Emil Frei III and Norman Jaffe have used the methotrexate-CFR treatment on Edward Kennedy Jr. (TIME, Dec. 3), and on 20 other patients. Methotrexate-CFR treatment is begun soon after amputation. Patients enter the hospital and receive a continuous intravenous infusion of methotrexate for six hours, during which they may be given more than 100 times the standard dose of the drug. Two hours after the methotrexate infusions are completed, the rescue effort begins. The patient is given citrovorum factor, first by injection, then by mouth...
That is the gist of a report in the Archives of Internal Medicine by three researchers-Drs. Arthur Simon of Duke University and Manning Feinleib of the National Heart and Lung Institute and Sociologist Angelo Alonzo of DePauw University. They base their conclusion on a year-long study of admissions to a single hospital in a suburb of Washington, D.C. During that period, 382 patients were brought to the hospital after complaining of symptoms of acute coronary disease; 138 of them were dead on arrival. By interviewing the surviving patients as well as the families of those who died...
Ever since the Supreme Court struck down restrictive state abortion laws in 1973, antiabortionists have been seeking ways to attack the decision. Last June they found an opportunity.

To get their results, they had administered the drugs to women who had come to the hospital for abortions and then measured the levels of the medicines in the aborted...
...Drs. Jan Frank and Harold Levinson of Downstate Medical Center report in the Journal of Child Psychiatry that primary dyslexia is caused by some as yet unexplained defect in the nerve pathways that connect the inner ear, which helps control balance, with the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls coordination. The result of this defect, they claim, is a sort of permanent motion sickness that affects a child's balance and scrambles incoming visual signals. In fact, they say, 112 out of 115 New York City children known to have primary dyslexia were tested and found...
Anyone who answers most of the above in the affirmative has what Drs. Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman of San Francisco call Type A behavior. If he has not already had a heart attack, then he may be hurrying toward one. That, at least, is the conclusion of their book, Type A Behavior and Your Heart (Knopf; $7.95). Just published, the book not only helps people to determine if their behavior is hastening a heart attack but also offers some practical advice for those who want to avoid coronary complications...
