Since the founding of such cities as Eridu and Kish in the valleys of Mesopotamia 5,500 years ago, the city has been the nerve and growth center of civilization.

Ever since, virologists have been racing against time, trying to perfect and test an effective rubella vaccine that can be marketed soon enough to avert the next predictable epidemic, expected in early 1970. Last week it appeared certain that the U.S. would have at least three different vaccines in time...
