...side effects were apparent. With the addition of cyclophosphamide, a drug that Rosenberg believes suppresses immune-system cells that might otherwise impede the TIL cells, the treatment achieved its spectacular success rates. Most important, the combined therapy cured mice of advanced colon cancers that in parallel animal experiments had withstood the LAK cells. Can TIL immunotherapy work in humans? "There are some questions," says Dr. Alexander Fefer, a University of Washington researcher who has pioneered in the development of T cells that target malignancies. Perhaps the most significant question is whether human TIL cells will exhibit the same homing instincts...
...similar organization, the Dallas-based American Renewal Foundation, distributes window decals for store owners to proclaim their refusal to sell porn. The group is currently threatening to boycott Circle K convenience stores, whose chairman has thus far withstood pressure to remove offending magazines. Another chain that has resisted is Dairy Mart convenience stores, with 950 outlets in the East and Midwest. Following a boycott organized by an affiliate of the N.F.D. in April, Dairy Mart conducted a survey of its patrons in four states, asking whether it should stock magazines like Playboy. The result: 55% said...
...past five months the new President has tried to blend military orderliness with the freedoms of a democratic political system. So far, his resolve has withstood mounting economic pressures. Until 1980 Nigeria was flush with revenues from its oil industry, which at one time produced 2.3 million bbl. a day and yielded $23.4 billion a year in revenue. But the worldwide petroleum glut has left the country, which earns 95% of its foreign currency from oil exports, teetering on the edge of economic collapse. Last year Nigeria produced a daily average of 1.4 million bbl., earning $11.3 billion. Even...
More recently, labor costs grew too quickly. While Pan Am and United have withstood expensive strikes in order to win cost concessions from their workers, Eastern has kept flying by allowing salaries to spiral upward. Since 1979, in fact, pay for the carrier's employees has risen by 50% or more. One result: Eastern's pilots make an average of $112,535, while their counterparts at People Express are paid...
...December 3, and the theater is hot and smelly and loud. I have withstood Stallone's assault so far, but I'm beginning to duck punches on the screen and cry out when Rocky gets nailed. All of a sudden, a man slams into a seat three down from me and rolls to the floor. Another figure is upon him at once panching, grabbing and kicking. Pretty soon, 15 people are involved to some degree in the emerging mayhem. A cop on duty finally convinces the contenders in the crowd to take a breather and watch the movie. The original...
