He observed the signs of widespread small-vessel deterioration in 14 young drug abusers, most of whom mainlined speed. Four of them died as a result. Observation of nearly 100 other patients since then has strengthened Citron's initial theory...
...second research team has provided still more proof. Dr. Calvin Rumbaugh of the hospital's radiology department had already examined 19 patients by cerebral angiography, an X-ray technique in which a dye is injected into the brain's arteries to enable doctors to follow its path through the smaller blood vessels. The tests showed most of the patients to be suffering from occlusion, or blockage, of the small arteries. To determine whether speed could cause such damage, Rumbaugh and his team injected five rhesus monkeys with methamphetamine every other day for two weeks. Then the scientists killed...
...Soviet Union, where the balmy pilgrim will almost certainly be shot as a spy. But his disappearance hardly seems tragic, for he is so patently a repository of memory and romance. Indeed, one of his earliest temptations is to step into a picture in his Crimean bedroom showing a path that disappears into a wood.
