...Sloan, now a senior in Arams House, qualifies as one of Harvard's first "Viet Vets." After spending nine months of last year as a sergeant advisor in the Mekong, Sloan came back to Harvard to face a campus overwhelmingly against everything he had been fighting for. Certainly the American soldier coming back from any one of the wars we have engaged in has had a certain amount of difficulty readjusting to civilian life, but to come back from this particular war to this particular campus makes effective reintegration doubly difficult...
Raised in Clinton, South Carolina, Sloan describes. political upbringing as non-racist, conservative, Southern Repubilcan. Shaking his head in disbelief of his own past political views, he admits that had he been of age he probably would have voted for Nixon in 1960. "But I changed when I came to Harvard," Sloan continues with more than a trace of drawl, "and I realized when I heard that Kennedy had been assassinated that I'd become a somewhat contankerous, old-fashioned liberal....

Partial and partly reassuring answers are being reported this week to hematologists meeting in Toronto by Dr. Herbert F. Oettgen speaking for a research team at Manhattan's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. L-asparaginase is so scarce, besides being forbiddingly expensive,º that Dr. Oettgen could report on only 14 patients. Even this small number of cases made it clear that the enzyme is likely to be effective mainly, against only one common form of "blood cancer" - acute lymphatic leukemia. All seven patients with this type of disease showed prompt and marked improvement; among them were three children...
Hundredfold Doses. Since the patients' responses to treatment could have been predicted in nearly every case by a laboratory test devised at Sloan-Kettering, there is no need to waste L-asparaginase by trying it blindly on patients unlikely to benefit. Side effects included fever, nausea, weight loss and allergic reactions but, said Dr. Oettgen, it is uncertain whether these were due to the enzyme or to contaminants...
