Vaccination? By now, the SE (for Stewart-Eddy) polyoma (multiple-tumor) virus has hurdled the species barrier and caused cancers not only in mice but in rats and in Syrian and Chinese hamsters.

Police kept dipping and diving last week in Denver, where 10,000 do-se-doers assembled for the eighth annual National Convention of Square Dancers. On two days the cops roped off Denver's 16th Street, and through most of the week the frisky conventioneers roped off all the city's ballroom and dance-floor space-including shopping centers-to romp for 13½ hours a day through the Paul Jones, the Sicilian Circle, the Soldier...
