...killed 18 in October 1948. Others, doctors think, may have serious cumulative effects on human health-which will not show up for perhaps 20 or 30 years. Some may cause lung disease and consequent failure. Dr. John R. Heller, president of New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, last week estimated that more than 15% of all cancers might be traced to environmental pollutants. Says Dr. Robert A. Kehoe of the University of Cincinnati: "The technology of our time has created a wealth of materials and made available the forces of nature...
...number of chemicals will kill cancer cells, but the vast majority destroy normal cells just as readily and are therefore worthless. One of the most ingenious ways to get around this has been devised by Dr. Robert D. Sullivan of Manhattan's VA Hospital and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The problem is that it may take days of continuous treatment to knock out all the rapidly reproducing cancer cells. In that time, the drug will kill so many normal cells that the patient's life may be threatened. Why not, asked Dr. Sullivan, give the drug continuously...
...when he was 18, he became disgusted with Mussolini's Italy, set out for Canada and then the U.S. He worked as a house painter, as an interpreter at Manhattan's Pennsylvania Hotel, then as a waiter while he studied art under the great realist John Sloan. In time, such museums as the Metropolitan, the Whitney, and the Worcester Museum of Fine Arts owned canvases by him, and Bosa himself became head of the advanced painting department of the Cleveland Institute...
...greatest complex of cancer research and treatment activities was Dr. John Roderick Heller, 55 (TIME Cover, July 27). After twelve years as director of the Federal Government's National Cancer Institute, Rod Heller will move July 1 to Manhattan as first president of a newly integrated Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. In effect he succeeds the late great Dr. Cornelius Packard Rhoads (TIME, Aug. 24), but with unified-command responsibility: Dr. Rhoads's research job, as director of Sloan-Kettering Institute, has already been filled by Dr. Frank L. Horsfall...
...Ernest Wynder of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute, who, with Dr. Evarts Graham, started the cancer controversy by inducing cancer in mice with daubings of tobacco tar, is only one of many prominent medical authorities (including the Surgeon General of the U.S. and the public health services of Britain and The Netherlands) who now believe that the link between smoking and cancer is definite. Last week the World Health Organization identified cigarettes as a major cause of lung cancer. Many smokers themselves are convinced of the link; in a worldwide poll, 33% of them said they thought smoking...
