...Marie-Louise Duran-Reynals, specialist in the virus theory of cancer, will be East House's scientist-in-residence this Spring. She will arrive on February...
While at Radcliffe, Mrs. Duran-Reynals will give a series of three lectures. The first two, entitled "The Historical Accident in Cancer Research" and "The Experimental Method in Research on the Virus Theory of Cancer," will be general talks on Mrs. Duran-Reynals' field...
...larger centers, they were armed with high-pressure air guns to squirt a dose of vaccine through the skin of a child's arm so fast that he could hardly feel it. Smaller centers used conventional hypodermic needles. The vaccine, Pitman-Moore's attenuated, live-virus form (TIME, Feb. 19), was free, but parents, who were asked to drop a token quarter into a donation box, contributed $8,256.68, or 26? a shot...
...over the country concern about measles is increasing. At the research level, physicians and other virologists have long been puzzled about how and when the measles virus attacks the brain, as it does in an estimated 4,000 U.S. cases of encephalitis each year. Last week, in the Journal of the A.M.A., a team of U.C.L.A. pediatricians reported finding traces of the virus in the nervous system during the active, red-rash phase of the disease. The discovery casts doubt on the idea that encephalitis is an aftereffect, and it lends a sense of urgency to the preventive campaigns...
...that potent anti-cancer drugs such as amethopterin (Methotrexate) and cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) have cured massive cases of Burkitt's supermalignant tumor might seem to argue against a viral cause. But doctors now believe that what the drugs do is cure or relieve a viral-induced cancer, after the virus itself may have vanished. Thus they may give the body an opportunity to develop its own mechanisms to fight the cancer...
