An eighth patient, who had acute myelocytic leukemia, also enjoyed a temporary improvement, though three others with this type of disease had none. One patient with a third form of leukemia (monocytic) and two with lymphosarcoma got no benefit from...
Every year Congressmen do their best to cut foreign aid to the bone, but in the current session their knives have sliced to the program's very marrow. Last week, after months of dispute between the House and Senate and still more wrangling between the House Foreign Affairs and Appropriations committees, the full House finally approved the lowest aid appropriation in the program's history and severely restricted U.S. military-aid activities...
