the identification of those who
have the disease, those who are
susceptible to it, and perhaps
lead to the means of treating
and preventing it,” said Dr.
Steven Schutzer of Rockefeller
University in New York. 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.
