...Brooklyn-born Puerto Rican agrees: "There's more space here, space where people can do things for themselves with less pressure, experiment with things. I have found Canada to be a very good school-a place for learning on all levels." Comments Robert Gardner, 50, the coordinator of the Canadian Council of Churches' ministry to U.S. draft-age immigrants in Canada: "Everything written and broadcast in the U.S. has been done so from the perspective that dodgers are poor, sad, lonely exiles. This is nonsense. Certainly the decision and act may have tragic implications. But many dodgers have...
...Gardner breaks down America's emigres into two distinct categories. The first group, he says, "were privileged young men from an educated class. They are reflective and politically aware. They arrived here with monetary resources and with plans because they had made their decision carefully."

But further experiments showed that the virus was chemically different from all previously identified mammalian viruses. Gardner still feels a "small nagging doubt-the remote possibility that it's a strange new type of cat virus." To rule out this possibility, the researchers plan an additional series of laboratory experiments, including attempts to produce viral antiserum from guinea pigs and rabbits. The antiserum could then be used in human cancer tissue to test for the presence...
