Virtually all previous evidence linking cigarettes with lung cancer has been based on epidemiological studies-retrospective checks on whether victims had been heavy smokers and prospective checks on whether many heavy smokers eventually died of the disease. Wanted, said critics of these studies, was anatomical evidence showing the gradual development of cancer in smokers' lungs. Dr. Auerbach's previous reports (1955 and 1957) on this development had been challenged on technical grounds. This time, his four-man team was determined to plug every conceivable research loophole...
