Despite these drawbacks, the Memorial doctors would like to be able to give L-asparaginase in vastly bigger doses. In mice, small doses will temporarily suppress leukemia, and hundredfold-greater doses result in what seems to be a permanent cure. This, said Dr. Oettgen, raises the question whether massive doses of L-asparaginase, perhaps combined with other drug treatment, might actually cure one form of human leukemia...
...midst of a Senate debate on Selective Service reform, Edward Moore Kennedy of Massachusetts was barely able to suppress a guffaw when he paused to read an unsigned note in small, familiar script. "Move in for the kill," it said. "I'm behind you. Way behind." The message from Kennedy's older brother and junior Senate colleague, Robert, was accurate as well as amusing. Bobby is political patriarch of the clan and may be a candidate for President in a few years, but he is way behind his kid brother when it comes to the use of power on Capitol...
...Masai" in 1959, Mbarnoti, who is in his 40s, has since urged his nomadic people to settle down and learn modern ways. The Masai seem resigned to ultimately becoming more Westernized.

(I also suggested that this last was inapplicable under Harvard policy and that there be combined effort to find other forms of legitimate and effective protest.) I assume that Professor Smithies would suppress all protest. Many will doubt the wisdom of this course as also, I trust, the wickedness of the secret work on which he is engaged.

...some cause other than a liver disease. Before implantation, the donated liver was matched for tissue and blood cells. To further assure a reasonable chance of success, Starzl and his colleagues gave their young patients injections of azathioprine (Imuran), prednisone and antilymphocyte globulin-all of which help to suppress immune reactions. The antilymphocyte globulin, newly developed from the blood of horses that have reacted to human tissue, is already helping to improve the chances (now estimated at 65%) of successful kidney transplantation as well...
