COVER STORY: Laetrile and Cancer: A movement of almost mystical proportions has grown up around an amber-
colored extract of apricot pits called Laetrile. The drug is an unproven treatment for cancer. It is dismissed by
U.S. medical experts as outright quackery and has been out- lawed by the Federal government. But thousands of
Americans don't care what the experts say or the law prohibits. With a hope born of desperation, they make the
pilgrimage across the Mexican border to visit a pair of Tijuana clinics where they receive injec- tions of the illegal
drug. Should Laetrile be banned? Medicine editor Matt Clark (right) examines the controversy that has be- come a
major national issue. (Cover photo by Howard Sochurek.)
TOP OF THE WEEK:
BIG DEAL: Once it would have been unthinkable to trade a star like pitcher Tom Seaver,
the symbol of the New York Mets for a decade. But in the turbulent state of modern owner-player relations,
anything goes -- and last week Seaver went to the Cincinnati Reds. Pete Axthelm, who traveled with Seaver
during his final Met days, wrote the story.
INSIDE SOMALIA: For years the Soviet Union has been entrenched in Somalia, but now the Russians are making
friends with Ethiopia, Somalia's bitter enemy. Yet despite hints of a new openness toward the United States,
Somalia's leader told Arnaud de Borchgrave that his country would not seek a "divorce" from Moscow.
HOW MUCH OIL? Is the world really running out of oil and gas? Nobody can say for sure how much is left to be
found -- but for all Jimmy Carter's alarms, everyone agrees there's a lot. The catch: future supplies will be
increasingly hard to get, and costs will zoom. Allan J. Mayer plumbs the depths of the reserves dilemma.
SUMMER MOVIES: Every June, with visions of another "Jaws" dancing in their heads, producers release what they
hope will be The Big Summer Movie. Last week's entries were a mixed lot: "The Deep," with Jacqueline Bisset
(right) on an undersea treasure hunt that is tight on suspense but leaky on plot; "New York, New York," Martin
Scorsese' s evocation of the big-band era, and "Exorcist II," an embarrassing reprise of a demon's dalliance with
Linda Blair.
SLY IN DUBUQUE: What's the perfect location for a movie about union violence in Cleveland during the 1930s?
Dubuque, Iowa, of course. For several weeks, the good burghers of that conservative bastion have gone slightly
gaga over the filming of SYLVESTER STALLONE's newest movie, "F.I.S.T." They are squealing over his public
appearances, playing bit parts and generally having a good time. Frank Maier reports on what happens when
Hollywood comes to Dubuque.
