14 year-old Jonny has enough to contend with at home, growing up on the Shankill in Belfast, trying to avoid his drunken father and take care of his struggling, penniless mother.

This doctrine was a centerpiece of the U.S. National Cancer Crusade of 1971: if human cancers were caused by viruses, the central task was to isolate them and prepare vaccines for immunization. At that point, many observers felt that perhaps too much attention was being devoted to cancer viruses. It was problematic whether viruses played an etiological role in more than a handful of human cancers.
