...have happened in my own practice." The FDA has another fear. If Laetrile is legalized - without a scintilla of proof that it works - the door could be opened to a host of phony cures and bring a return to what one American Cancer Society official calls "the days of snake-oil remedies...
Like a Roman emperor at the Colosseum, Zaïre's President Mobutu Sese Seko strutted into Kinshasa's 20th of May Stadium last week to the cheers of 60,000 of his countrymen, many of whom had just snake-danced through the streets of the capital.
