Despite lack of depth, the team is an extremely strong one. Wrestling at 123 is Pete Keeler, winner of the trophy for the Outstanding Wrestler in the Maryland Inter-Scholastic Competition last year. Though currently bothered by virus, Keller is expected to win against Springfield. He's backed up by a steadily improving Ralph Kadin...
Cancer, too, is a target of molecular biology. Harvard's Dr. John Enders, a virologist whose tissue cultures made polio vaccine possible, believes that some cancers in lower animals are certainly caused by viruses. "Recent work has shown," he says, "that malignant cells that develop after infection by a virus do not necessarily continue to hold the virus. They lose the virus but continue to grow, and can pass cells to other animals without the virus' being present. It looks as if the function of the virus is to start the cell going wrong. Then it can continue...
...places the last stone and steps across to the terra firma of accomplished discovery gets all the credit." Thus Dr. Jonas Salk got most of the credit for developing polio vaccine. But it was Enders' patient work that first demonstrated how to grow the dangerous polio virus in other than nerve tissue. That work got Enders and his associates a Nobel Prize; it got Salk his vaccine. Now active at Boston's Children's Medical Center, John Enders is presently putting the patience that whipped polio to work on measles and infectious hepatitis...
...Angry Silence (Beaver Films; Valiant) at first glance looks like a remake, minus humor, of I'm All Right, Jack, and at second glance like an anti-union tirade. Actually, it is a vigorous attempt to fight the virus of conformity in modern society-an industrial miracle play in which Everyman finds salvation through a grease-smeared redeemer...
...still necessary for Britain to stamp out animals along with the disease. Sympathetic to their pleas, the British government is spending nearly $1,000,000 a year on foot-and-mouth research at laboratories in Pirbright. Surrey, has already developed one promising immunization technique similar to live polio virus inoculations: an attenuated live foot-and-mouth virus is grown in a culture of kidney tissues, then injected into chick embryos, mice, and finally into the muscles of animals where it multiplies harmlessly, stimulating the production of antibodies...
