...showed an elderly woman with an alarmed look on her face. In her hand was a vial that apparently contained a generic imitation of Mellaril. The text implied that a switch to a generic version of Mellaril could cause increased side effects, including symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease. The FDA said that the claims in the ad were false and ordered Sandoz to withdraw it, but the company had already made its point...
...whimsically listed his having won a grade-school marble championship). A lifelong Washingtonian, he is one of the capital's wealthiest private attorneys (although he normally takes a bus to the office). Stein, who is so apolitical that he has never registered to vote, successfully defended Attorney Kenneth Parkinson in the Watergate conspiracy trial. But he failed to persuade a different jury that Dwight Chapin, Richard Nixon's appointments secretary, had not lied to a grand jury probing the affair. In criminal cases he has always been with the defense, never a prosecutor. Federal Judge Charles Richey calls...
Freshman Lane Evans of Illinois faces Kenneth G. McMillan, a hardline conservative who won the 1982 GOP primary over then Rep. Tom Railsback, largely because Railsback was implicated in the Paula Parkinson sex scandal. in Illinois, along with Texas, the Democrats expect to make their biggest House gains, and Evans' district, which is fairly representative of Illinois outside of Chicago, is a watermark for Democratic chances...
Officially, it was described as "a bad cold." But feverish imaginations in the world press soon produced far more colorful explanations for Soviet President Yuri Andropov's total disappearance from public life last August: he had been shot by Leonid Brezhnev's son, he was suffering from Parkinson's disease, he had had a stroke, he was recovering?or not recovering?from kidney transplant surgery. What actually happened to Andropov is much less melodramatic and far more logical. Here are the details of his recent medical history, as assembled by TIME from authorities in the U.S. and abroad...
DIED. Joseph H. Simons, 86, chemist who discovered one of the first practical ways to synthesize fluorocarbons; of Parkinson's disease; in Gainesville, Fla. In the late 1930s, as a professor at Penn State, Simons found that passing fluorine through an arc of carbon gas produced a few drops of clear liquid fluorocarbon, but his discovery had no obvious use. A few years later, when scientists could not find enough fissionable uranium to build the Abomb, Simons rescued the jar of fluorocarbon from a filing cabinet. The resulting chemical reactions yielded highly fissionable uranium 235. By the mid-1950s...
