Coming in for serious and sharp criticism was the New York Central: "Seats were filthy, windows unwashed, washrooms dirty and unsanitary. Employees often saw roaches and even rats and mice running through the cars...
...compounds than the chemists could synthesize in 1,000 years. And as a rule, the naturally occurring compounds are less likely to be poisonous than the synthetic, because they've developed in association with life." Cancer Researcher Taylor's team is testing plant extracts against cancer in mice, reports "more hopeful results with the natural compounds than with synthetics...

The most amusing touch is a supposed renegade who shatters the morale of Britain's pet-lovers by broadcasting that "few dogs and no cats carried gas masks, and gas-proof cages for birds and mice were the exception rather than the rule. The animal first-aid posts were scandalously few and ill-equipped...
...Sloan-Kettering Institute, said Dr. Wynder, he has found in the tar no fewer than 17 hydrogen-carbon compounds of the polycyclic group (i.e., with several carbon rings in the molecule). Nine have been exonerated, but to the six already known to produce cancer on the backs of mice the Wynder-Hoffmann team has added two more-3.4-benzfluoranthene and 10.11-benzfluoranthene.

It has worked in mice and dogs, but the human system, far more, choosy, usually gets its antibody factory working again, and thus defeats treatment with injected "foreign" bone-marrow cells...
