...from '64 to '65 decided we needed to leave the campuses and focus on the interracial movement of the poor. In the summer of '65 when we were working with organizing Blacks and the Civil Rights Movement, I realized I wasn't a very good organizer. I wasn't patient enough...
Dirty Harry is no complainer. He is genial with strangers, patient with the press. And in a movie-mad country where the names of directors like Sydney Pollack and Carl Dreyer appear on the tiles of France's favorite TV game show, La Roue de la Fortune, Eastwood the auteur is an imposing ambassador for American star quality. It so happens that the film he brought to Cannes, which he directed but does not appear in, is no great shakes. It meanders like a 2- hr. 43-min. sax solo by one of Parker's lesser disciples, and it never...
...colleagues. A high-court decision last week is likely to make them even shyer. The case, closely tracked by the medical community, involved Surgeon Timothy Patrick. In 1981 a peer-review panel was considering ending his privileges at the only hospital in Astoria, Ore., on the grounds of substandard patient care. Patrick resigned and sued the doctors in a rival practice, who had initiated and participated in the proceedings against him. His claim: conspiracy to eliminate a competitor. Though the law partly protects physicians who serve on peer-review panels from antitrust actions, the court ruled 8 to 0 that...
...Lucas film will have vagrant charms. Davis is ingratiating. So is Julie Peters playing his wife, as patient as Penelope. Director Ron Howard (Splash, Cocoon) gets the social politics of the dwarfs' village right, but he is not adept at action scenes: some are too busy; others are botched. Kilmer tries hard in a role that might have fit Mel Gibson like an iron glove, and Whalley, teen angel of the serious British mini-series (The Edge of Darkness, The Singing Detective) is wasted as the heroine. Both Kilmer and Whalley, in fact, are curiously irrelevant to the climactic battle...
...powerful therapy called TILs, for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. In tests on mice, he notes, these cells appear "50 to 100 times more potent than LAK." TILs are actually killer T cells that, like LAK cells, can attack cancer cells. To produce them, researchers expose malignant cells removed from the patient to IL-2. The tissue includes killer T cells that have launched a weak attack; with a sharp boost from the IL-2, they replicate and proceed to destroy the cancer. A month later, the newly potent T cells, vastly increased in number, are then infused into the patient, followed...
