...Nazis from the historical wickedness that their kind committed and that we do well to bear in mind, and make them into faintly risible characters, just a step or two away from Mel Brooks creations. No amount of fancy framing can finally distract us from this unfortunate and diminuating effect...
...pressure continued to mount, the NCI last January asked the nation's doctors for any data on patients who seemed to have had a beneficial effect from Laetrile. The response was hardly overwhelming. Out of thousands of cancer victims treated with the substance, data were submitted for a total of 93 cases. Only 22 of these cases were submitted with sufficient information and involved patients who had been treated solely with Laetrile during the time of evaluation. Of these, nine stayed the same, seven got worse, and only six showed improvement. In four of the six, tumors shrank more...
...have had no treatment, tumors occasionally shrink and even disappear-possibly because the victims' immune systems become reinvigorated. Thus, in the two submitted cases, Upton says, "there was no way we could conclude confidently that remission resulted from Laetrile." Furthermore, in most laboratory tests, Laetrile has had no effect on animals with cancer-the reason that the NCI has given in the past for refusing to begin testing of humans. Still, the increasing political pressure apparently had its effect on an NCI advisory panel of doctors and scientists, who earlier in the week voted 14 to 11 to recommend...

The person without followers is not a leader, no matter how stirring his oratory or how right his cause may be, because he does not make a difference; he cannot change how people...
