...today the second leading cause of death in the U.S. (after heart disease) and a subject of intensive study by researchers around the world. One of the foremost of these is this week's cover subject, Dr. Robert Good, director of New York's Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research. Dr. Good specializes in immunology, using the body's own natural defenses to fight cancer. In recent weeks, he has been sharing his experiences with Medicine Writer Peter Stoler who, aided by Reporter-Researcher Andrea Chambers, wrote and did much of the reporting for this week...
Good is the foremost student, practitioner and advocate of immunology in the U.S. today. His own research, most of it carried out at the University of Minnesota, has been responsible for much of medicine's current knowledge about how the immune system functions. His writings have helped spread the word about the new science; he is coauthor or editor of at least a dozen books...
Later in December, an SRI physicist, Russell Targ, sent a letter to one of the foremost U.S. scientific journals proposing an article on the work of an SRI team engaged in psychic research.

Presumably, Targ was referring to such changes as increases in magnetometer readings and the disturbance of electronic systems-all reported to TIME by a team member. The research subjects had also demonstrated remarkable perceptual skills, including telepathy. Working further with these men, Targ suggested, would enable...

Several bills are coming before Congress this session, with comparable variance of language and terms. The foremost is a two-tiered approach set forth in a bill proposed by Senator Lowell P. Weicker (R.-Conn.) which would create an "absolute" immunity from forced disclosure by newsmen before grand juries, legislative committees and government agencies, and a severely limited immunity before open courts trying major criminal cases...
