Last week the Sloan-Kettering researchers, headed by Dr. Chester M. Southam, announced the answer. With the cooperation of Dr. Emanuel E. Mandel at Brooklyn's Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital, cancer cells were injected under the skin of 19 patients severely ill from non-cancer diseases. The cancer cells did not "take" in any of these non-cancer patients (though four have since died, and one of them had an unrelated, hitherto undetected cancer of the bladder). Immunity to cancer is evidently a universal phenomenon, and it is lost only in the special circumstances, still not understood, in which...

But by the time Mandel is through with him, he has become a somewhat more complex conformist. At the outset Marks is a reservist with a wry eye for the shorebound "aye, aye" jargon of the peacetime Navy and a fondness for clean shirts...
Marks's final decision-to hold the hearing anyway-is no great surprise. What is refreshing is Author Mandel's subtly shaded exploration of questions so often answered in Boy Scout black and white: Can anyone be responsible to himself and to an organization at the same time? If a choice is forced, is it more important to help individuals or to see that society works properly...
