Meyer Jr., subsequently teamed up to attenuate or "tame" the virus so that, in a vaccine, it would cause no disease but would still trigger the making of antibodies and thereby produce immunity. Their strain, which was dubbed...
...first three weeks, Cavett has deftly handled such disparate talents as Truman Capote, Joe Namath, Candice Bergen, Rex Reed, Gloria Steinem and Mort Sahl. Coming on like an urbane Henry Fonda, he asks a few questions, grins puckishly now and again, then sits back to let guests earn their...
