Much of the case will rest on the significance of subtle differences between the French and American viruses. Gallo insists that his virus is too genetically distinct to have been derived from the French strain. But according to James Swire, an attorney for Pasteur, "there is a body of scientific opinion" that disagrees. Swire has been seeking lab notebooks and memos from the NIH, under the Freedom of Information Act. So far, he says, "we've found lots of things that strengthen our complaint and nothing that damages it." Among the findings: a photograph illustrating one of Gallo...
Even before the production's road tryout, there were rumors that it was in trouble, but ANTA Executive Director Willard Swire defended the investment: "Up to New Haven, the show looked most promising; the chorus, usually a good gauge of how it's going, were opening charge accounts, taking leases on apartments." Whatever the chorines thought, Choreographer-turned-Director Bob Fosse was suddenly replaced by veteran Albert Marre, and last week The Conquering Hero opened on Broadway to mostly mediocre reviews. It survived for seven performances...

If we had had a success like The Music Man, which The Conquering Hero closely resembles . . ." For not knowing the difference between a Music Man and a musical turkey, ANTA now faces the task of extending the "living Theatre" with a total debt of about...

It was in part because of their illusions and their influence that Britain's Labor government of the time recognized the Mao regime...
Plumb Crazy. Most of the companies still trying to operate are British, e.g., Traders Jardine, Matheson & Cox, and Butterfield & Swire, and the British-American Tobacco Co. There are a few American interests still functioning, but they are under the same pressures. Example: the Communists are trying to make four U.S. banks pay off their depositors in the same way as the British banks. But in this the Reds will probably fail, since the dollar deposits are in America and the U.S. Treasury refuses to permit delivery of the funds to Chinese mainland branches. The only Western firm in Shanghai that...
