Orthodox medicine poured a flood of doubts and questions at Drs. Ivy and Durovic. What was Krebiozen (pronounced kre-by-o-zen)? Nobody knew, except that it was a whitish crystalline powder. How was it made? For years, Dr. Durovic has kept parts of the process secret. Did it really help cancer patients?

He refuses to hire a business manager ("I don't want to be bandied around like some blooming new soap powder"), and once turned down a publisher's offer with a curt: "I just don't want to write a book." He regards racing as something akin to painting or music-an art, in which perfection is probably impossible but still worth trying for. Sometimes he worries about whether he likes...
...oxygen steel furnaces in Cleveland recently poured 491 tons of steel in one hour, compared with 60 tons for a similar-sized open hearth shop. Last week Reynolds Metals Co. announced that it had developed a laboratory method of turning bauxite into aluminum without first reducing it to alumina powder,* and that other revisions in its existing production lines will enable it to increase production more than 21% on demand...
