The pleader is Lennie, a ruined hulk who grasps ideas with his hands instead of his brain. Looming about the California farm land, Lennie is barely held in tow by his keeper George.

Goodrich reported that three workers had developed angiosarcoma of the liver, an extremely rare and invariably fatal form of cancer (TIME, May 13). Since 1961, 16 deaths of angiosarcoma among vc workers have been uncovered in the U.S., and another...
