("I had no trouble with it for 40 years. Then it came back. Retribution, I guess.") He became a passable golfer, tennis and baseball player during his Harvard years (he is still an avid Boston Red Sox fan), but despite these normalities, many of his Harvard classmates found him a bit odd, with his string-bean shape and undeviating interest in the arts.

Perhaps it was because his patients had been healthy before the accident, then had suddenly received such a whopping jolt of radiation that it could not fail to knock out their marrow function-including antibody formation. Frozen marrow keeps for at least six months; if it can be kept longer...
