...gathering momentum. According to last week's Boston Globe story, the new M.I.T. production technique could bring the cost of fibroblast IF down from about $50 to only $2.50 per million units. Says the A.C.S.'s Rauscher: "Right now it's costing something like $150 a day to treat patients, and a full course of treatment can go as high as $30,000 or more. This is very good news indeed." So it is. For even if interferon should only partly live up to its initial, most tentative promise, it would augment the sparse arsenal so far developed to combat...
...years since, Merigan and his Stanford team have successfully used IF to treat shingles and chicken pox in cancer patients. In other studies, IF has prevented the recurrence of CMV, a chronic viral disease that sometimes endangers newborn babies and kidney- transplant patients. Israeli doctors have also used IF eyedrops to combat a contagious and incapacitating viral eye infection commonly known as "pink eye." Researchers are now trying a combination of IF and the antiviral drug ara-A in patients with chronic hepatitis B infections. Interferon investigators have high hopes that the drug will be equally active against other viral...
However, not even McAlpine's cinematography can upstage Adams, the undisputed center of the film. It is a rare treat to see a movie with such a realistic and honest portrayal of a woman. Then again, it it rare for a movie to be produced, directed and written by women, as this one is. But to label it as a "woman's movie" is to deny its greater focus.

The question, though, is whether individuality and love are mutually exclusive, as Sybylla all too abruptly...
...Terrace's "weasel talk" and "innuendo," considered suing him. Patterson accused Terrace of "rather muddleheaded methodology." But some of the other researchers are taking a long, hard look at their own work. Premack, now at the University of Pennsylvania, thinks that Terrace's tactic of trying to treat Nim like a human baby was "silly and ill-advised," but he agrees that animals are incapable of spontaneous conversation. The Rumbaughs maintain that their more recent experiments preclude the possibility of trainers giving cues, consciously or sub consciously, to the subjects, but they have their own reservations about...
...easy to read. But it is worthwhile for doctors and patient! Both can be notorious for rushing to the pillbox when alternative methods ar preferable. As Totman points out, any one can tell when he is sick, even a la man. The trick is to determine why, an to treat the nonmicrobial causes of illness as well. - Peter Stoler
