Last week the Jesuit weekly America listed three areas of friction in a lead article (written for CBS's Church of the Air radio show, but denied clearance because it was judged too controversial) by Editor in Chief Thurston N.

Many viruses, Salk noted, can lie dormant for years in the human body (a common example is the virus of the cold sore). Some may attack the nerves and do only slight initial damage. In later life these neglected infections may have serious aftereffects. For instance, said Salk, severe hypertension and gastric or duodenal ulcers can occur as a result of damage to the central nervous system. Although he made no claim...
