He is one of the discoverers of the virus. Toxic shock syndrome, iden tified in 1980, is a rapidly progressing illness marked by fever, rash and a collapse of blood pressure It has been associated with tampon use, and has occurred primarily, but not exclusively, in young, menstruating women Its cause has eluded inve stigators. The Center for Disease Con trol in Atlanta has reports of 2,010 cases of the disease. The outcomes of 1,915 of those cases are known, and they in cluded 94 deaths Shortly after the disease was found, it became clear that it was somehow linked to a com mon kind of bacteria called staphylococcus aureus. But this microbe is present in many people who do not have toxic shock syndrome, so researchers reasoned that something else had to be in volved It was later determined that strains of the bacteria found in people with toxic shock produced toxins not produced by other strains In a report to be published Friday in Science magazine, Schutzer and two Rockefeller University colleagues, Vincent Fischetti and Dr. John Zabris kie, say a virus that infects staphylococcus aureus may trigger the production of those toxins King Kong can’t hold his wind on Empire State NEW YORK (AP) - King Kong failed to inflate atop the Empire State Building today, not because his bubble burst but because his tethers were tangled In the movie classic ' King Kong," the gorilla’s captor says after Kong plunges to his death from atop the building, "‘Twas beauty killed the beast " But this morning, the maker of the giant Kong balloon put the rap on careless unpacking The 3,000-pound model must be re-rigged before it can be blown up, said the builder, Robert Keith Vicino "I have a goal and that goal is not going to be accomplished if King Kong is upside down,” Vicino said Ceremonies marking the hoopla for the 50th anniversary of the landmark monster movie went ahead anyway in the building s lobby, even though the eight-story-tall balloon was only a limp heap of vinyl and nylon, dangling from below the mooring mast Actress Fay Wray, who portrayed the heroine for whose love mighty Kong fell, sent a letter, declaring “the image of King Kong and the Empire State Building remains vivid and powerful to millions It became evident earlier today that Kong was a balloon that wasn't going to float, and the stunt's sponsors had said he would be taken down because of a tear in the right shoulder.
