California links quackery to felony murder ruling
California becomes first state to make medical quackery a felony with up to ten years in prison for unlicensed practitioners who treat under dangerous conditions. The law followed the death of Linda Epping, caused partly by a chiropractor’s alleged fraudulent treatment after cancer surgery was advised. The case led to charges of second degree murder for fraud in a medical setting, a landmark in medical jurisprudence.

Biosatellite to Put Plants Bugs in Orbit
NASA announced a second biosatellite mission to launch September 7 carrying fungi, plants, and insects to study effects of space rays and weightlessness. Managed by Ames Research Center, the 940 pound craft will stay in a 196 mile orbit for three days before being parachuted into the Pacific for recovery by Air Force aircraft. Readied organisms include bacteria, a flower, bread mold, a parasitic wasp, and larval and adult vine gnats.
