Oklahoma's Arcadia Lake. The dual purpose of the $75 million project on the Deep Fork River was to create new recreational facilities and water supplies, but the water is so contaminated by lead that it is unfit for swimming. Expensive treatment facilities would be required if it were to be used as drinking water for the boaters and fishermen it was designed to attract...
Thurmond is the consummate courthouse-square politician, meticulously sending constituents congratulations for birthdays, weddings and graduations, and taking care of their problems with Government bureaucrats. Nowadays blacks as well as whites get such treatment. This has been the case ever since 1970, when a segregationist friend lost a bid for Governor.

Thus, in the two submitted cases, Upton says, "there was no way we could conclude confidently that remission resulted from Laetrile." Furthermore, in most laboratory tests, Laetrile has had no effect on animals with cancer-the reason that the NCI has given in the past for refusing to begin testing of humans. Still, the increasing political pressure apparently had its effect...
...month trial, to begin in January, will involve at least 300 patients with advanced cancer that has not responded to other treatment. Each patient will sign a consent form. Says Upton: "We would not foist Laetrile on any unknowing patient." Still to be worked out is whether Laetrile will be given alone or, as some proponents advise, in combination with other metabolic therapies such as high-dose vitamins, minerals and diet changes. Since preparations of the drug are known to vary, NCI will formulate and distribute the Laetrile to be used...
