...greatest controversy today concerns cancer of the cervix. Again the trouble is insufficient data. What is indisputable is that many, if not most, women on the Pill undergo cellular changes in the cervical region. The question is whether these are precancerous. Two researchers, Drs.

Widely termed the conservative and liberal caucuses, these two coalitions of like-mined Faculty members functioned throughout the crisis like combinations of political parties and traditional Faculty committees: sometimes campaigning actively among independent Faculty members in support of a position, at other times simply discussing the issues and feeding resolutions onto the meeting floor...
