Misdiagnosis Likely. A New England research team, reports Microbiologist Edward S. Murray of the Harvard School of Public Health, has studied 13 recent cases, two of them fatal. Six were on Cape Cod, five on Martha's Vineyard and one on Nantucket. The out-of-area case involved a man in Gloucester, Mass., 100 miles from the Cape. That was puzzling because no infected ticks had been found there. The doctors questioned the man closely. No, he had not been to the Cape. In fact, he had not been anywhere except out on the marsh, duck hunting. With...
Although spotted fever may prove fatal if not treated promptly, it can almost always be cured with antibiotics (chloramphenicol or the tetracyclines) if diagnosed early enough. The trouble, say Murray and his colleagues in the New England Journal of Medicine, is that most doctors in the East are not alert to the danger. Unless they happen to spot the palms-and-soles rash, they are likely to misdiagnose the disease and treat it with sulfas or penicillin-both of which seem to make it worse. Lives can be saved, they say, if doctors will look for the distinctive signs, especially...

But in early November, he gave in, and the student reaction followed...
...NOVEMBER 6, the BSU called for a student strike and issued a list of ten demands. Before black students would return to campus, the BSU said, the college would have to give in to all ten points--including rehiring Murray, creating an autonomous black studies department, and automatically admitting any blacks who applied to the college. Another group of irate students--the menacingly-named Third World Liberation Front--joined the strike and came up with its own list of five similar demands...
