David-

I agree. Point well taken. I was mistaken about the anecdote being in the annual report. It was in an article in the WSJ. I clipped the article and kept it in the pages of my 93 annual report. I don't have the date on the clipping ('94 I think), but the title is "Foreign Gene Is Implanted in Tumors In Advance for Gene-Therapy Medicine" by Michael Waldholz, staff reporter. The last paragraph reads:
======
The scientists found that in one patient, the gene injected into a tumor cell generated an attack that wiped out the tumor and also stirred an attack on tumors elsewhere in the patient's body. Dr. Nabel said the key to the technique will be its ability to stimulate a bodywide immune-system attack, since it will be impractical to directly inject the gene material into every cancer cell.
======

Regards,

Jim
