...District 65, characterized the University's efforts as "scare tactics," Steiner holds that the entire effort was aimed at informing, rather than indoctrinating the workers, and that Harvard at all times adhered to NLRB campaign regulations.

More important is the fact that although doctors can often cure the disease - if it is caught early enough - the battle against cancer has been agonizingly slow. All too often, treatments are extremely expensive (the median cost of a cancer case was calculated in a 1973 study at $19,000), physically painful and, when surgery...
