This syndrome, called "multiple chemical sensitivity," explains some of the respiratory symptoms doctors have documented. But it cannot account for all the ailments. As a result, Aspin announced the creation of a board of inquiry headed by Joshua Lederberg of Rockefeller University, a Nobel- prizewinning expert on rare and emerging diseases. But it is up to the Pentagon to bridge the credibility gap that seems to have sprouted over the strange new syndrome...
Three grants were awarded in the literary category.
