...Human cells are considered foreign for the mouse, so you can get an immune response just because of this,” said Kornelia Polyak, a Medical School professor and researcher at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute...
...enthusiastic Red-baiters. Innuendoes do fly like javelins over female village smithies who toss anvils for totalitarian states. In 1976, the last Summer Games attended by Americans, the U.S. women swimmers could have taken their thumping by East Germany more gracefully. Some muttered that the Germans' particular star, Kornelia Ender, resembled a man, though she did not look like a man to men, certainly not to Roland Mathes, who married her. He was the G.D.R.'s top male swimmer, and a friendship between Mathes and John Naber, the best American, was evident. "We were on a similar quest...
...Here," according to Maura Costin, the Kornelia Ender of the Radcliffe swim team, "the decision is yours. They (the Byerly Hallers) basically say: 'You know what we have to offer. If you take it, fine, if not, that's OK too.' At Princeton, I was taken out to dinner and always received letters and telephone calls from the coach. If I had gone to Princeton, I would have felt like I had to swim." Obviously, this low-key approach (what other approach would be used at Harvard?) works (and not just for athletes. We're here, right...
...offer up precise technical information just when it was desperately needed. Donna de Varona ignored fascinating aspects of the women's swimming, using her time, instead, to lobby for U.S. Government-supported athletic programs. It was as if the East Germans had launched a Sputnik rather than Kornelia Ender. Gymnast Commentator Cathy Rigby Mason upheld the standards of Olympic amateurism, trilling things like "Look at that amplitude," without defining it. But other "expert" commentators came through admirably. Ken Sitzberger clearly distinguished the great dives from the merely good ones; Bill Russell delivered intelligent and humane analyses of the basketball...
Four of the golds were won by East Germany's imposing (5 ft. 10 in., 155 Ibs.) Kornelia Ender, who came into the Olympics holding four world records and by Saturday had set three new ones. When the East Germans suddenly emerged as a swimming superpower three years ago, disgruntled rivals speculated that gold-crazed East bloc coaches were giving their women swimmers male hormones and then subjecting them to a training so regimented that it turned them into aquatic automatons...
