...number of chemicals will kill cancer cells, but the vast majority destroy normal cells just as readily and are therefore worthless. One of the most ingenious ways to get around this has been devised by Dr. Robert D. Sullivan of Manhattan's VA Hospital and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The problem is that it may take days of continuous treatment to knock out all the rapidly reproducing cancer cells. In that time, the drug will kill so many normal cells that the patient's life may be threatened. Why not, asked Dr. Sullivan, give the drug continuously...

Generations of chemists have tried to synthesize chlorophyll-and failed.

In ten months, many agencies and sponsors smelled quality and kept their...
...better sort of television has long been the province of Robert Herridge, 42, once called by Variety "the literary conscience of the medium." Using no sets but considerable imagination, he originated WCBS's Camera Three seven years ago, did productions of Hamlet, Moby Dick, The Heart of Darkness, a ten-part Huckleberry Finn. As a summer producer for the once-memorable Studio One, he did the fascinating Mr. Arcularis, by Poet Conrad Aiken, and Steinbeck's Flight...
