...cancer research boom of the last decade may, as Frei and others come close to admitting, reflect only the concern of legislators for a visible disease, second only to heart disease in its annual toll. Dr. Kurt J. Isselbacher, Mallinckrodt Professor of Medicine at Mass General Hospital, has an official interest in the academic acceptance of the field. He is chairman of Harvard's cancer committee and says, as does Frei, that the basic biology of the cancer tumor, and the subtle distinctions that make its cells malignant, are valid concerns for the basic scientist/pure academic...
...Yorkers reflect on the reluctance of other Americans to rush to their rescue (see story page 8), they are sometimes tempted to imagine that they are victims of the outlander's hatred for the sophisticated metropolis. As Queens College Professor Andrew Hacker put it last week, "By all means let us have some serious belt tightening if that is Kankakee's condition for buying our bonds. But what is also wanted is some kind of mea culpa: repentance for past profligacies." Certainly some Americans are not above a little gloating. A group of Rotarians applauded in New Orleans...
...decision in 1955 to go into television in a big way by sponsoring The $64,000 Question. That helped boost sales by 54% and earnings by almost 200% in a year.

Currently, it is breezy Lauren Hutton...
...surface, the President's holiday mood appeared to reflect the tranquillity of much of the country. A year ago, the nation was in a turmoil over the Watergate scandals and Richard Nixon's resignation as President. This August most Americans seemed determined to make the best of the season. In California alone, crowds at parks and campgrounds will hit 50 million this year, an increase of almost 20% over last year. Similarly, attendance at major-league baseball games already approaches the 1973 record...
...contrast, some political liberals, drawing on a congressional staff study, estimate that decontrol would contribute to a rise of as much as $40 billion in consumer living costs during the next year, or $400 to $800 for the average family of four. Those figures are probably too steep: they reflect guesses on how much oil increases might pull up prices of natural gas and coal and a belief that the $2 tariff would be retained, which has already been proved wrong. They also suggest a fear that higher oil prices will drive up prices of petrochemicals and many other products...
