Stangl was one of 800 such killers so far tracked by the Jewish Documentation Center, Wiesenthal's one-man operation. A Polish-born architect, Wiesenthal survived five years at Mauthausen and other concentration camps, helped forge his wife's "Christian" papers to spirit her out of the Warsaw ghetto; together, they lost 87 relatives to the Nazis. Since the war's end, he has carried on his search, helped by cash contributions from many parts of the world. In his new book, The Murderers Among Us (to be published this month in the U.S. by McGraw-Hill...
...There must be a lot of ladies out tonight," Warren Boggess of San Francisco's KSFO likes to say. "I see cars swerving in and out of traffic lanes." Reporting for New York's WCBS, Bob Richardson and Neal Busch call themselves "Orville" and "Wilbur," their helicopters "help-o-copters." Last month Los Angeles' KABC hired a pair of chatty girls, blonde Kelly Lange and brunette Lorri Ross, to be traffic spotters. Outfitted in snug, silver pants, the girls quickly mastered the special vocabulary used to describe the chaos beneath them. In the lingo of the traffic...

The difference is due to the fact that some patients survive the failure of an initial transplant with the help of the artificial kidney or a second transplant...
...must use drugs enough to suppress the immune mechanism and spare the kidney, but not in such strong dosages as to let the patient die from any passing infection. The drugs used, mainly azathioprine (Imuran) and prednisone, are so highly potent that by themselves they can seriously weaken or help to kill a patient. A major factor in boosting the cure rate in the past two years, said Dr. Murray, has been a steady reduction in the dosage of azathioprine. The researchers gathered at Duke were seeking new and gentler ways of avoiding the rejection reaction by manipulating the immune...
