...addition to the 20 cases in the Infirmary, it is known that "several mild cases, not serious enough for the Infirmary, are lying around outside," Wells said. He pointed out that some of the influenza patients had already been released from Stillman, since the disease lasts only for two to four days...
...Price himself four years ago, remains the only common cold virus to be successfully isolated for vaccine development. Named JH (for Johns Hopkins), it was discovered by accident in 1953 during an influenza study, when a group of Hopkins nurses came down with stuffed-up noses, scratchy throats, mild fever and coughs.

...persuaded NIH to invest in high-school students is Robert Lee Silber, 29-year-old head of the science department at Central. Silber has his own special brand of mild-mannered determination, e.g., to work his way through Evansville College, he scrubbed floors in a slaughterhouse.

The seven-foot barrier, which had once tripped everyone but California's Charley Dumas, seemed suddenly...
