Hammer Thrower Hal Connolly, 28, world record holder and 1956 Olympic gold-medal winner, was warming up when he pulled a muscle in the left side of his massive back. Asked Connolly coolly: "Is there a doctor here?"

James of Ohio State University College of Medicine (cooperating with Sloan-Kettering in the study) injected Novocain, measured an inch and a half below the tattoo mark, and made a neat incision about an inch long across the arm. He folded back the skin above and below it, then cut out a little gobbet of flesh which embraced the site of the implant. All these biopsy specimens were flown to Manhattan for study. From some, it was found, all cancer cells had vanished within the week...
