...evidence, he cited ABC's coverage of the region since the murder of Sean Toolan, a part-time radio reporter for ABC in Beirut. He was killed shortly after ABC-TV aired a special report by Correspondent Geraldo Rivera that was sharply critical of Palestinian terrorism. Said Chafets: "ABC, from the time that [Toolan's death] happened, in my view, began a policy which I would describe as cowardly." The recent 20/20 segment "Under the Israeli Thumb" by Correspondent Tom Jarriel, Chafets said, was "one of the most malicious, distorted and one-sided programs about Israel shown...
...Helene W. Toolan of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute reported that two viruses which had previously been found in human cancer have now been found in human embryos (from spontaneous abortions, or "miscarriages"). To rule out contamination in the Sloan-Kettering lab, parts of the same embryos were examined in London, where British workers isolated one of the two viruses...
...Sloan-Kettering Institute's Dr. Helene W. Toolan reported the first success with rats and rabbits. She took skin from embryos in the first third of gestation, found that it made a permanent graft on 45% of unrelated adults, grew a good crop of hair. Memorial Hospital's Plastic Surgeon Reuven K. Snyderman applied the technique to cancer patients and burn victims. From human embryos lost (from spontaneous or therapeutic abortion) during the first 4½ months of pregnancy he took skin grafts for eight patients. Four failed to take, probably because of infection, Dr. Snyderman suggested...
...Human cancer will grow in laboratory rats if they have been pretreated with cortisone or X rays. Dr. Helene W. Toolan left some rats untreated, planted human cancer tissue in them and a week later took blood and tissue specimens from the animals. Fresh pieces of cancer tissue were immersed in this material, then transplanted into pretreated rats. These implants failed to grow. The cancer had been neutralized by an immune mechanism in the blood of the first, untreated rats. ¶ Properdin, a chemical that occurs naturally in the blood, is one of the factors in immunity. Zymosan. a yeast...
...major handicap in cancer research has been the difficulty of growing human cancers in laboratory animals so that a whole arsenal of chemicals, viruses and antibiotics may be tested directly upon the human instead of the animal varieties of the disease. Dr. Helene Wallace Toolan of Manhattan's Memorial Center reported that during the last year she had found what seemed to be the answer: human cancers took hold readily and grew well in rats that had first been dosed with cortisone. The hope in it for humans: more human cancer tissue to experiment with safely...
