If we had pursued what President Nixon declared in 1970 as the war on cancer, we would have cured many strains. I think Jack Kemp would be alive today. And that research has saved or prolonged many lives, including mine.
Some people thought we were presenting Archie as a false character. President Nixon thought we were making a fool out of a good man.
