...which extract it from white blood cells separated from donated blood. The output in 1979 was minuscule, 400 mg (.014 oz.) gleaned from 45,000 liters (90,000 pints) of blood. The effort is so painstaking that, according to estimates by scientists at the California Institute of Technology, a pound of pure interferon would cost between $10 billion and $20 billion. That price will certainly decline as large companies enter the field with more efficient production techniques. As one Wall Street analyst predicts, "The market for the stuff is probably big enough for everyone to get a share. If interferon...
...upper-income Scarsdale, seven miles from Purchase, when his diet book was published in January 1979. It quickly caught the fancy of weight-conscious Americans, selling nearly 3 million copies and grossing more than $11 million. The book promised dieters that they would lose an average of a pound a day by adhering to Tarnower's highprotein, low-carbohydrate regime...
...though I be crying./ Though snickering worlds wink owlish eyes, God,keep me trying." Harvard (A.B. 1915, M.A. 1916) all but undid this model boy. His discovery of the decadent poets of the 1890s led him to write lines like "(Oh God!) the wonder of you-" Courtesy of Ezra Pound, he also fell in with free verse and the imagist movement. Poetry henceforth was to be simple, sensuous and direct, images fresh, startling and spare. Cummings proved an apt poetic experimenter, though some of his finest verse, eventually, was traditional...
Although repeal of pound seizure will reduce the number of dogs used in research laboratories, the bill will not affect the root of the problem--the continued funding of repetitive and often unnecessary experiments by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other funding institutions. Harvard, which receives over $40 million from NIH annually, relies almost exclusively on NIH's peer review committee (comprised solely of researchers) to screen out repetitive research proposals. In sharp contrast to experiments involving human subjects, where Harvard considers all possible risks to the subject, Dr. Hunt and Harvard's Animal Care Committee merely check...
...meantime, both Orlans and Hunt agree economic considerations are the primary limiting factor on the use of animals. Although repeal of pound seizure will have little long-term effect on the use of animals in experiments, the dramatic increase in the price of dogs will force researchers to reevaluate the number of dogs they are using--and provide a strong economic incentive to develop alternative research methods...
