...other issues, but a crucial one will nonetheless be Lyndon Johnson himself. Washington wags emphasize that point with a line they attribute to concerned Democratic officials: "Will the real Lyndon Johnson please shut up?" The real Lyndon Johnson is the one who was molded during 26 years on Capitol Hill; unlike most Presidents, he has shown few signs of personal or intellectual change in the White House. He is still the arm-squeezing, wheedling, wheeling-dealing Majority Leader, slinking into the wings when defeat looms and hogging stage center in victory. Stories of his vindictiveness, his pettiness, his tantrums when...
...official telegrams to other heads of state. He may still be permitted to go to his office and await dispatches and memos that never come. He may be under some form of detention, either imprisonment or, more likely, house arrest in his villa in Peking's Fragrant Hill section...
...Wadley Research Institute in Dallas. When he turned 90, Wadley was confident that the Institute had now struck it rich in cancer research. At his party, he told how nine-year-old Frank Hayes Jr. had been in the last stages of acute leukemia when Dr. Joseph M. Hill began giving him injections of the bacterial extract, L-asparaginase. Within a month, the boy's grotesquely swollen glands had shrunk, and analysis of his blood cells showed no active cancer. Dr. Hill warned Wadley that this was technically a "remission," and no one could yet claim a cure...
...illness was diagnosed last September as acute lymphatic leukemia. Besides the usual abnormalities of white cells and bone marrow, he had a tendency to form tumor masses in the neck and armpits. He was given standard treatment with drugs that produced remission. But then came relapse. Dr. Hill finally decided to use his scant supply of L-asparaginase. In daily injections beginning Feb. 13, Frank Hayes received 213,000 units. On March 16, he developed hives and a lump in his throat, indicating an allergic reaction and suggesting to Dr. Hill that it may be best to give the drug...
Comparable remissions have resulted from all the anti-leukemia drugs now in use. It will take hundreds of treated patients to show whether L-asparaginase can fulfill this one-shot promise. Of the Hayes case, Dr. Hill says: "It will take 63 more years for the boy to live out his normal life expectancy, so we'll consider it a remission until then." In all the world, there is not enough L-asparaginase to treat more than a dozen sufferers. Dr. Hill says that he is making it in Wadley's own labs, besides buying it from Washington...
