Plasma is a has-been-or should be. Yet each year an estimated 100,000 Americans receive transfusions of plasma, which is the almost colorless liquid portion of whole blood that has been collected from many donors and pooled.

The surrealistic approach often has a certain childish charm at first, but with repetition it quickly palls...
...double-blind requirement results in omission of a fifth important and promising drug, cholestyramine or Questran (TIME, Oct. 13). Because this is bulky and must be taken in liquid form, it cannot readily be paired with a placebo...
