Overman of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine announced that a drug called amino-ethylisothiuronium (AET for short), a sulfhydryl-related compound, has been 100% effective in protecting monkeys from the immediate effects of lethal radiation. AET was developed at the Atomic Energy Commission's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Still to be determined: the drug's long-term effect on the treated monkeys and any possible application to humans. Working on another AEC project, Overman is testing the effect of bone marrow injections on radiation damage. High doses of radiation disrupt the normal production...

Patients arriving for their 50-minute hours last week were ushered through the Oregon-basalt entrance into the spacious waiting rooms, screened by a shoji. The long, sky-lit corridor (which has warm, hand-rubbed oak-flooring walls) leads to the ten consulting rooms, each soundproofed to silence, looks out through a full glass wall onto a serene, narrow garden court planted with vine maples and deciduous huckleberries, and backed by a plastic fence paneled in off-white, honey and burnt orange...
