...first star, Dr. Joel Fort of San Francisco, who said that drug use is "pervasive in American Society"--30-50 per cent of the urban college population have used pot. He also said that marijuana is practically college population have used pot. He also said that marijuana is practically harmless and in some cases beneficial...
...Lyon's earthy smile, is a love-struck leftover from turn-of-the-century melodrama, yet speaks the language of the contemporary soldier. Like the cars its heroes steal and riotously wreck, the script starts strong but plots its own collision course, and eventually piles up in a harmless heap of miscellaneous parts that no longer mesh. The viewer, who begins by sympathizing with the Flim Flam Man, ends film-flammed as another one of his victims...
Last Straw. All this inspired Der Spiegel to sound a warning blast about Bayreuth's future. Bad enough, said the article, that Wolfgang's production was cluttered, unimaginative and-worst of all-harmless. In his very staging of Lohengrin, the magazine saw signs of an alleged return to the bad old Nazi days. The presence at rehearsals of Mama Wagner, now 73, was the last straw...
...Hilleman's group reasoned that since it seems to be the nucleic acid in the virus' core that provokes natural interferon output, something like a harmless form of nucleic acid might stimulate the increased production they were seeking. They tested helenine, extracted from a mold related to those that make penicillin and already known to have antiviral properties (though no one then knew why). Extraordinarily complex extraction procedures yielded a pure ribonucleic acid (RNA). But this was no ordinary RNA, such as occurs in the cores of many viruses in molecules of single strands. This proved...
...interferon from one species is of little or no use in another, so there was no chance of "growing" it in animals for later use in man. But now it seems virtu ally certain that man can be stimulated to produce it by a periodic intake of a harmless form of RNA, either injected or even more convenient, by means of an inhaler. Though the maximum effect may last only two or three weeks, that would be long enough to protect other members of a family when one of them starts spreading cold germs around the house. And interferon might...
