From Bovine Brains. Most controversial of the biochemists' reports came from Tulane University's Dr. Robert Heath, who is both an analyst and a man with a syringe. For the first time, Dr. Heath spelled out his theory of the nature of schizophrenia, at which he had only hinted previously (TIME, May 14, 1956). He and his colleagues believe that schizophrenia is a "genetically determined metabolic disease"-i.e., a disorder of body chemistry which reflects a defect in the inherited genes. He relegated emotional stress, generally regarded as a major cause of the illness, to a minor role...
What to do about it? Dr. Heath startled his colleagues last year by reporting that he had consistently extracted from the blood serum of schizophrenics a substance, which he has dubbed taraxein, that causes symptoms similar to schizophrenia when injected into normal volunteers. To make sure that taraxein really exists in schizophrenics' blood and is not merely a byproduct of laboratory processing of the serum, Heath took half a pint of blood from patients, removed the cells, and directly injected the serum into volunteers. They promptly developed what looked like mild, temporary, schizophrenic symptoms. With similar blood from normal...

The Marquess of Salisbury, 63-year-old scion of the Cecil family, who have advised England's monarchs since the days of the first Queen Elizabeth, was even more adamant. Inflexibly, the tough-minded elder statesman pointed out that Makarios had "deliberately refrained" from meeting Britain's conditions for his release...
