...Equal Treatment. Mixed unions are hardly strange to Americans, going back to John Rolfe's marriage to Pocahontas in 1614. In the same era, colonial elders became so concerned about the number of marriages between white indentured women and Negroes that they began writing laws to prohibit them. Abolitionist Frederick Douglass, son of a Negro mother and white father, who became the nation's Minister to Haiti in 1889, divorced a Negro and later married a white woman, explaining blithely that he "wanted to be fair to both races." Negro-white miscegenation, in fact, had a brief vogue...
...went to California early in the week, accompanied only by security men, to brief a group of businessmen in Beverly Hills on the war. He then went up to the Bay Area ostensibly to see Brother-in-Law Foisie, who had returned from his post in Bangkok for medical treatment. At the campus church, the wedding roster read Smith-Foisie rather than Smith-Rusk.

But Dr. Sidney Farber of the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston was just then beginning the first tentative treatment of childhood leukemia with a drug called methotrexate that interferes with the metabolism of cancerous cells, in effect starving them of a vital nutrient. It was to commemorate the 20th anniversary of that occasion that the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute picked Boston as the place to make their reports last week...
...physician must try to kill all these abnormal cells without killing or damaging too many of the normal cells. In the trade, said Dr. Zu brod, each factor of ten in that trillion cells is called a log, and in the first few years after Dr. Farber introduced methotrexate treatment, doctors found that they could knock off one or at most two logs, or zeros, from the cell count. This meant that more patients enjoyed longer remissions. Survival times began to creep...
