Across Dr. Heller's desk, from his far-flung research fields, flow curious and varied intelligence items-students gathering puffball mushrooms, desert rats that have learned to smoke, a drug made from a chemical relative of DDT, a plastic "iron lung'' for mice. To him, they all fit tiny corners of the vast jigsaw that must be filled in before cancer can be conquered. Meanwhile, his reports on the enemy's inroads are grim...
...nowr has gone through 20,000 compounds. But 100,000 more are available, and as many more can easily be synthesized or extracted from plants, fungi and antibiotic "beers." This was a nationwide job for NCI. Along with a score of private institutes and university laboratories, the chemical and drug industries were enlisted: Brooklyn's Charles Pfizer & Co. is at work under a $1,200,000 contract; Indianapolis' Eli Lilly & Co. does its share at its own expense...
...medical school Njoroge got the idea for his African hospital, sold it to Medico, a division of the International Rescue Committee, which persuaded U.S. drug manufacturers to donate $100,000 worth of medicines, other U.S. manufacturers to supply $40,000 worth of equipment and surgical instruments.

Some of the products of charlatans have an ancient history. A turn-of-the-century fashion in ample bosoms produced "Bust-O-Fill"; the current bosom-conscious fad has resulted in "Kurv-On," "La Contour" and "Charm-On," which, says the Food and Drug Administration, "have about the same effect on the development or structure of the female breast as Smith Brothers cough drops." The "magic detector" of Dr. Albert Abrams, a roaring success in the '20s, popped up again last year in San Francisco. The detector enabled Dr. Abrams to "tune in on the electric vibration coming from...
...disposal plants should give a healthy boost to a drugmaker whose diversification (Aralen, Novocain, Dr. Lyons Tooth Powder, Molle Shave Cream, Energine lighter and cleaning fluid, textile and printing dyes, etc.) has already carried it far beyond the drug field. As a result, income last year topped $200 million for the first time in Sterling's 59-year history, with profits of $19 million ($2.42 a share...
