...blasted the government for the "cacophony" of its contradictory policies. Mitterrand remained above the fray, but Socialist First Secretary Lionel Jospin and Communist Boss Georges Marchais tried to drum up the loyal leftist vote in the suburban industrial "Red belt" around Paris. Marchais told a rally in Communist-controlled Villejuif, "The right is dangerous! We must throw all our forces into battle...
...scientist was an American, Harvard-trained Ion Gresser, at the Institut de Recherches Scientifiques sur le Cancer in Villejuif, France. He made his own interferon by injecting viruses into the brains of laboratory mice; that stimulated the production of IF. After mashing the brains and processing them, he was left with a crude but potent solution of interferon. He gave the IF to a group of mice injected with a virus that causes leukemia, a blood cancer. After a month, the interferon-treated mice were in good health; those in an untreated control group had leukemia. Gresser then went...
...last lap of the race, the major candidates of the four principal parties campaigned in a variety of styles. Communist Party Chief Georges Marchais, 57, showed up in Villejuif, a suburb in Paris' working-class Red Belt, to greet his fans in a gymnasium plastered with signs saying ENOUGH INJUSTICE!

...Georges Mathé, a leading cancer researcher at the Paul Brousse Hospital at Villejuif, near Paris, has been using BCG since 1964. He administers it as part of a double-barreled approach to treating patients with acute lymphoid leukemia, a cancer of the blood-forming tissues that tends to further depress and obliterate the patient's already weakened immune responses. Mathé begins with chemotherapy, using cell-destroying drugs that kill rapidly proliferating cells (and thus destroy cancer cells more quickly than normal ones) to reduce the size of cancers from billions of cells to 100,000 or so. Then he uses...
...Jekyll-and-Hyde strangler who had hogged the headlines and taunted the police for 40 days. "The Machiavelli of crime," as France-Soir had dubbed him, turned out to be a colorless, bespectacled little (5 ft. 4 in., 130 Ibs.) male student nurse from the shabby suburb of Villejuif. His hobby was writing banal verse, which he set to borrowed music; he even paid to have his songs recorded and issued in a jacket flatteringly decorated with his face and name...
