Also Cough Syrup. In 1952 the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denounced Hoxsey's claims for his cancer tonic as "false and misleading," ordered the district judge in Dallas to forbid interstate sales and shipment of Hoxsey's bottled wares. (Hoxsey and his lawyers delayed the ban for 15 months.) Said the A.M.A.'s watchdog bureau of investigation: "The whole thing reeks of fraud." The American Cancer Society was even more emphatic: "There is nothing in his . . . medicine which has the slightest effect on cancer, except, according to one investigator, to stimulate its growth slightly...

In Honduras and in Nicaragua, U.S. Air Force Globemasters...

The Teamsters opposed piggybacking on the New Haven, have been restrained from disrupting it only by a court injunction. But Beck, who has gone along with the shipment of trailers by water, now seems resigned. Says he: "We have no objections to piggybacking or any other form of transportation as long as the interests of the drivers are protected."
