Robert M. Chanock of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Dis eases proposed an unorthodox explanation. The inherited antibody, he suggested, actually makes babies more vulnerable to the potentially fatal dis ease. First, Dr. Chanock distinguished between several kinds of antibody ("im-munoglobulins"), which immunologists label alphabetically. Only type G passes the placenta and gets into the fetal blood; the others are developed later...
...straight through the '50s, and Galbraith, despite his unorthodox methods, belongs on the list.

As a result, Glide formed a citywide Council on Religion and the Homosexual...
Karp, also 39, will agree to make a multimillion dollar acquisition between handball games or during an after-lunch ten-mile walk-and-talk session. Out of this unorthodox exercise of brains and brawn has evolved an impressive track record in business. Since they took over Monogram six years ago, the two have sent sales hurtling from $6,000,000 to a current annual rate of more than $100 million. Three years ago, Monogram stock was selling at $4 a share...
