Moreover, the doctors did all this in direct defiance of the human immune system, a formidable foe whose chief goal is to reject any and all foreign objects.

The doctors believed the best weapons they had at their disposal were drugs designed to disable the immune system, if only partially. A mixture of azathioprine, prednisone and antilymphocyte globulin was the choice in the 1960s...

Product line or not, Johnson was clearly in the zone as the 200 approached, growing surlier and surlier. "You have to understand," said Hart, "Michael's been...

Never as highly regarded as the women, they nonetheless performed better than expected, staying in the medal hunt almost to the end and finishing a respectable fifth. (Russia captured the gold.)
