Might expect to help them. But then the side effects of the radiation will be the side effects of the cancer, and the department of defense wasnt particularly interested in the effects of radiation on people with metastatic cancer, they wanted to know what the effects of radiation were on a healthy 23yearold pilot. And that could be best studied by irradiating people whose karch cancers were not going to respond to the radiation. Most of the patients who were irradiated were poor. Most of the patients who were irradiated were africanamerican. All of them had cancer. Some of them werent all that sick. Some of them were still ambulatory, some of them were still going to work. The radiation had some pretty serious effects. Out of the 90 people who were irradiated, 21 of them were dead within a month. And heres whats there are many things bothersome about this. We know that when you irradiate people, they have side effects. You can get nauseated, you can get very nauseated. But the departm

He announces he wants to execute the legacy of franklin roosevelt. If you do to these moments that hes in these early weeks, hes not the later, a man very much alone, finding his way. These very moving scenes you read about, he goes home with these great reading lists trying to figure out what was the legacy, what did the president really want to do. Hes searching ernlestly to find it. One of the areas he deals with, atomic policy, has been emphasized, he had enormous confidence in marshall, knew this was a policy roosevelt endorsed.

The stadium fell into disrepair, and here you see a chart which shows the joseph regin stein library. Imagine this if you can. They tore down their football stadium to build a library. True story. They also left the big ten in 1946. And it left room for another member to join the big ten to make up the full complement of ten. Of course, in 1949, Michigan State university was admitted to the big ten. So the university of chicago left, Michigan State came in. They had a president who was known to observe, when i feel like exercising, i lie down until the feeling goes away. So they were not big into the intracollegiate sports scene. However, in 1942, they still were in the big ten and stag field still existed. It had squash courts under the stadium.

Want to hit something, mrs. Reynolds, you just said. There are generations of poverty, and it becomes very difficult to change that dynamic. When there is ly a crisis, and we dont stay. The cries we cant do transportation, food or health care, but we can do housing. Then we walk away. We go back when there is an tective service issue, and then we walk away.
