...Laetrile, regardless of its value, the Government would be abrogating its traditional responsibilities to protect the national wellbeing. It could also fan the already widespread public suspicion of contemporary medicine and indeed of scientific expertise generally. However justified such suspicions may occasionally be, the notion of setting lay judgment and emotions against the best advice of science raises disturbing questions. Above all, the benefits of a public test must be weighed against the dangers of false hopes raised and sound treatments ignored...
Exactly how good is the new champ, and how does he compare with colts of memory fresh and dim? His light racing experience somewhat handicaps judgment, as does the lack of first-class competition. He has seldom shown the scorching times of Secretariat, nor does he appear to have Big Red's hunger for the killer win, as in Secretariat's unforgettable 31-length victory in the Belmont.

But since there is no radiation risk and no need for a skilled X-ray interpreter to make an initial judgment, Sadowsky points out, the microwave detector could at the very least be used for prescreening women-especially those under 35 who are ordinarily not encouraged to have mammograms unless they have a family history of breast cancer or symptoms of the disease...
