...entered the cancer field almost by chance. After he fled Hungary's Communist control in 1947, he was able to resume at Woods Hole his long work on muscle. Concentrating on one of the commonest of muscular diseases, myasthenia gravis, he had a clue. Sometimes a victim of "MG" does better after his thymus gland is removed. Searching for the explanation, Szent-Gyorgyi, who has a Cambridge Ph.D. in biochemistry besides his M.D., spent years doing delicate chemical dissections of the thymus glands of calves, supplied by Chicago's Armour & Co. The trail ran out. Szent-Gyorgyi...
...after a more serious attack or a succession of attacks. After five years on Premarin, the corresponding death rates were 7% and 27%. But dosage is critical. Dr. Stamler warned against giving Premarin within three months after a heart attack, advocated building up in stages after that from 1.25 mg. to 5 mg. a day.

But Dr. Stamler insisted that bigger doses are necessary, and some...

U.S. authorities had just approved a cut from 10 mg. per pill (taken 20 days a month) of norethynodrel (trade-named Enovid in the U.S., Conovid in Britain by G. D. Searle & Co.) to 5 mg. The British cut it to 2.5 mg. The policy proved to be penny-wise and pound-foolish: of the first 48 women who took the half-dose pills, 14 became pregnant. Later trials switched...
Slowed by a stroke five years ago, she later developed osteomyelitis and cancer. This spring her friend Joseph P. Kennedy sent specialists from the East. Last week Marion Davies died, aged 61. Some 30 years earlier on the lot at MG-M, after answering an interrupting phone call from Pops, she had turned smiling to a friend and stuttered out a line that could be her epitaph: "H-h-h-hearst come, H-h-h-hearst served...
