Memory Jogger. BCG is not an anti-cancer drug as such. But it does appear to be a powerful immunopotentiator, or tool for turning on the immune system.

Injected directly into cancer lesions, it can cause a responsive immune system to send anti-tuberculosis antibodies to the scene to fight the invaders.

After John Mitchell left the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, it was Malek who ran the committee from his post as deputy director...
...critics of Berger's approach, video tape is no more than a distraction, an expensive plaything. But Berger and many of his colleagues consider it not a toy but a tool, and not prohibitively expensive. Adequate equipment, Berger says, can be bought for two or three thousand dollars...
