Working with Research Assistant Adele B. Croninger, Drs. Graham and Wynder obtained tar from a machine which "smokes" thousands of cigarettes, then painted the tar on the backs of mice. It produced scores of cancers. While these skin cancers are not identical with lung cancer in man, they are so similar that the researchers are confident that human lung tissue reacts the same...
...Lyon and Joe Cullman have achieved phenomenal growth for their companies with opposite selling techniques. Lyon used plenty of noise in his ads (little Johnny's annoyingly unforgettable cry) and bold slogans ("No Cigarette Hangover"). Cullman was content to push Parliaments with dignified understatements ("removes much of the tar-keeps all loose bits of tobacco from reaching your lips") and snob appeal. Both approaches worked. Since Lyon became president in 1945 he has pushed Philip Morris sales from $185 million to $315 million last year, its profits from $6,800,000 after taxes to $11.3 million. Since 1941, Cullman...
...held out the lure of East-West trade to Europe, but the sweet talk has always contained more saccharin than sugar. For the last seven years France has signed an annual trade treaty with Russia's satellite, Czechoslovakia, exchanging phosphates and machinery for pottery, wood pulp and coal-tar products. The pacts have not worked out well. In 1951 the Czechs and French exchanged only 60% of the agreed quota, and last year the figure was down...
...interrogated in closed session, but found not to be subversive." "Certain other" committees, Gallagher added, "do not have full regard for the truth and hide the subversive effect of their own unsubstantiated attacks on education and religious freedom." But this is no reason, said Gallagher, for harassed educators to tar Jenner's committee with the dirty brush used to counterattack Joe McCarthy. He concluded: "Where we find honesty and integrity coupled with high principles and sound operations, with an absence of headline-seeking and a genuine desire to strengthen free institutions...
...experts also heard more about phenylbutazone, a nonhormonal substance synthesized from coal tar (TIME, June 16, 1952). They got an encouraging report on the use of phenylbutazone in the treatment of gout and gouty arthritis by Dr. William C. Kuzell of the Stanford University School of Medicine: major improvement or complete relief in 168 cases out of 200. Bad side effects, which have proved so serious that many U.S. doctors frown on phenylbutazone, were noted in 52 cases, but of these, 38 were cases in which it was possible to continue the treatment successfully, because the degree of toxicity...
