Among them he listed the theories that cancer gets started by chronic irritation and that it is the product of heredity. Both, he said, are supported by evidence of "doubtful value," and both may cause researchers to ignore a wide field of potentially valuable research in preventing the disease. Dr. Hueper's main point: almost every known cancer-producing agent can be traced to environment, particularly certain processes of modern industries...

That day, with one jockey hurt and two others stunned, he walked calmly back to the jockeys' room where an excited doctor exclaimed: "That was a pretty bad spill." Glisson, dirty and dusty, stared at the doc with cold, blue eyes and said matter-of-factly: "I've seen worse."
