Linus Pauling Institute is on the net!  far out.  Hope you will join in
more of these discussions; it would help balance the opinion spectrum a
bit!

I happened to glance at the April '85 issue of Science 85 just out, and
quote the following from their "Highlights" section:

	Vitamin C is ineffective as a treatment for cancer.  So say
	doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, who found
	that victims of bowel cancer given large doses of vitamin C had
	no better survival rate than victims treated with a placebo.
	The report contradicts the assertions of two-time Nobel Prize
	winner Linus Pauling, a longstanding advocate of the vitamin's
	powers to treat some diseases.

Mmmrmmph!  Don't you love the way they make it sound so final, so
resolved, so unambiguous?  I think you (LPI) would be doing their
readers a favor to write a letter to the editor, pointing out some 
of the experiments you've quoted here.
