This is roughly equal to three or four drinks containing five ounces of 80 proof whiskey mixed equally with water and consumed on an empty stomach. The big problem is that the laws in 35 states are below the national standards. In these states, the alcohol blood level for measuring intoxication is .15 per cent. Thats roughly equal to nine highballs, leading to what wed normally consider as falling down drunk. Leading insurance experts want all states to reduce their alcohol blood level to the national standard of .10 per cent. David E. A. Carson, vice president and actuary of the Hartford group, recently stated, Theres no doubt that highway deaths and accidents would be significantly reduced if all state laws measured up to the national standards.

Among them are advances in chemotherapy, or the use of drugs in treating certain forms of cancer, notably leukemia.

Still others are exploring new vistas in immunology, the science of aiding the body to withstand cancerous attacks. More and more basic knowledge of the cell and the life processes being unraveled.
