...also in bordering Wisconsin and Iowa. It has given the world premiere of Lee Hoiby's Summer and Smoke, the American premiere of Carl Nielsen's Maskarade, and staged such other esoterica as Delius' A Village Romeo and Juliet and Carlisle Floyd's Of Mice...
...received wide publicity for claiming that several animals had been successfully grafted with skin from others that were genetically dissimilar. Summerlin makes no attempt to evade the main allegation against him, and admits that he used a felt-tipped pen to darken the skins of two of the 18 mice that he showed to Institute Director Robert A. Good on March 26. But he denies that this "irrational act," which followed a festive predawn breakfast of crepes and champagne, represented a willful attempt to deceive his colleagues into believing that he had grafted black skin onto white animals. He also...
...other scientists were unable to repeat Summerlin's experiments, and skepticism about his results grew steadily. Earlier this spring Summerlin, who had since moved to New York City's Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, was accused by colleagues of painting the skin of some laboratory mice to make it appear that he had successfully grafted tissue from one animal to another. He was suspended while a specially appointed S.K.I. committee investigated the charges. Last week, describing Summerlin's conduct as "irresponsible" and "incompatible with discharge of his responsibilities in the scientific community," the committee upheld...
...skin transplants on mice were not the only Summerlin experiments that were repudiated. Summerlin had claimed on several occasions that he had grafted skin from one human to another unrelated one, implanted human corneas in rabbits, and transplanted adrenal and parathyroid glands from animal to animal.

The committee found that the results of his gland transplants were at best equivocal...

Whether this is adequate to provide long-term protection for plastics workers remains to be seen. An industry-sponsored study has shown that when mice are exposed to those levels, they develop angiosarcoma...
