GERMANY, Page 86But Don't Hold Your Breath
By EMILY MITCHELL
"A scientist should change his field about every ten years,"
says Baron Manfred von Ardenne. A man of his word, he has
worked over the years in physics, radio electronics and
microbiology, and even helped Stalin build an atom bomb. As
East Germany's best-known scientist, Von Ardenne, 83, heads a
private lab in Dresden. His latest project is one to make
skeptics gasp in disbelief. An "oxygen multistep therapy" --
which includes inhaling pure oxygen while exercising -- it is
being touted as both a cure for cancer and a fountain of
youth. He claims good results, though the final proof may be
up in the air.
