Ford's request had the backing of a blue-ribbon medical advisory committee-including Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin, of polio vaccine fame-but critics of the program charge that the Administration left unanswered some nagging questions. Among them...
Gary Bond made the two-point conversion, and when Sabin Willet blocked a punt and fell on it in the endzone, Harvard owned a 10-0 half-time lead...
...Sabin's claims created an immediate controversy. But it was not until Sabin decided to recheck their experiments himself that he realized why. He was unable to duplicate the earlier results. His failure, he says, left him no other choice than to publish a retraction. "I've been a scientist too long not to do it," he said. "If I find something that a colleague and I have reported that I cannot confirm, it's my duty to report...
Circumstantial Evidence. Sabin's retraction comes as something of a shock to Tarro, who is now in Italy continuing his work. Tarro insists that others -including several U.S. researchers -have duplicated his results and says that he plans to present proof of their validity at international meetings in Germany and Italy next month...
...Sabin's dilemma is no surprise to some U.S. virologists. Dr. Andre Nahmias of Atlanta's Emory University, a leading authority on herpes viruses, feels that Sabin went far beyond his data in claiming that herpes viruses account for 25% of human tumors. Dr. Bernard Roizman, professor of microbiology at the University of Chicago, believes that some of the experiments were oversimplified and lacked controls. But none of the researchers is willing to dismiss the indictment against herpes. All have found circumstantial evidence linking the viruses to certain human cancers. But all feel that they need better proof...
