Even as the SALT talks inch toward the elusive goal of limiting the arms race, weapons designers are creating ever newer generations of lethal hardware...
More broadly, Eagleton raised another issue neatly fitting the Lance defense. Citing the "guilt by association" that characterized the red-baiting tactics of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Eagleton charged that "here in 1977 we have a newer technique-guilt by accumulation-every day someone will hurl a charge at Mr. Lance and a little bit more mud gets on the character and reputation of Mr. Lance." He criticized Ribicoff and Percy for spreading the vague claim that Lance had been accused of new illegalities-but never revealing what they were. In a closed session...
...been repeatedly proved in combatting one of the commonest and deadliest forms of pneumonia: the type caused by berry-shaped bacteria appropriately called pneumococci. Though increasingly resistant strains of these microbes have appeared occasionally in recent years, larger doses of the drug-and a whole battery of newer antibiotics-have managed to subdue them. Now from South Africa comes an alarming report about the appearance of one or more strains of pneumococci that largely defy the germ-killing powers not only of penicillin but of most other antibiotics...
...operation postponed for five weeks until he was cured of a stubborn case of pneumonia. But after surgery he again developed pneumonia, and analysis of the guilty bacteria proved them to be similar to those identified in Durban. They were astonishingly resistant to penicillin and also to many newer antibiotics. In the boy's case, the hardy new pneumococci finally succumbed to combined doses of rifampin and fusidic acid, but doctors noted that he was already recovering when the drugs were administered...
...than the Asian ancients' chaulmoogra oil had been developed by U.S. researchers, tested at the Public Health Service Hospital in Carville, and just released for use in Hawaii. The best-known and most widely used is dapsone (DDS). For those who also had tuberculosis, isoniazid was used. Still newer drugs include the potent antibiotic rifampin, and even thalidomide, which is administered to treat complications, but not for women of childbearing age. Collectively, these are indeed wonder drugs: when used promptly to treat newly discovered cases, says Koch, they can usually make the patient noncontagious within a week...
