...SMITH and his Alabamans used to play at rallies for Lurleen Wallace, when she was running for governor in 1966 and dying of cancer. Last night, grandly re-christened Sam Smith and his American Independent Party Band, they performed for George on Parkman Bandstand, a concrete-columned pagoda on Boston Common...
Three U.S. manufacturers are mak ing and testing rubella vaccines. All are based upon a virus strain isolated by Pediatricians Harry M. Meyer Jr. and Paul D. Parkman at the National Institutes of Health. Merck Sharp & Dohme grows the attenuated (weakened though still "live") virus in fertilized duck eggs; Eli Lilly & Co. grows it in cultures of monkeys' kidney cells, while Philips Roxane Laboratories uses dogs' kidney cells. All told, the three companies have had about 20,000 children inoculated in pilot studies...

...rubella tamers are two pediatricians still in their 30s, Dr. Harry M. Meyer Jr. and Dr. Paul D. Parkman. Though German measles is almost invariably trivial for all but the baby in the womb, the raw virus could not be used as a vaccine because of the danger that newly vaccinated children might spread the infection to pregnant women. The researchers' task was to weak en the virus, and strike a delicate balance, leaving it infectious for those who are vaccinated, but noninfectious for their contacts. They decided to domesticate the virus in cultures of kidney cells from African...
...Spread. Drs. Meyer and Parkman spent two years growing 77 crops of rubella virus, each "seeded" from the preceding crop. At this point, they inoculated rhesus monkeys with what they called HPV-77 (for high-passage virus). Happily, the vaccinated monkeys showed no signs of rubella, but developed antibody against it, while their cagemates remained free of infection. The first human testing of the vaccine was equally sensitive: the subjects had to be children with no history of rubella, and no possible contact with pregnant women...
