...timing of the human-rights report was unfortunate. The controversial Washington Post disclosures came at a time of renewed tension on the West Bank. Two weeks ago, in a calculated act of reprisal against the families of suspected terrorists, bulldozers of the Israeli army moved into West Bank villages at dawn and crushed four Arab homes to rubble...
Arab reaction was swift and defiant. In the West Bank towns of Ramallah and Halhul, students stoned Israeli soldiers; the soldiers retaliated with arrests and beatings.

Though Euroblood represents only a small portion of the ten million units of blood now needed in the U.S. each year, many doctors think this volume is already too high. German-born Dr. Klaus Mayer, director of New York's Memorial Hospital Blood Bank, points out that "the impetus for collecting blood in our communities becomes blunted as reliance on imported blood increases." Easy access to Euroblood may also encourage in efficiency and waste. Dr. Aaron Josephson, director of the Chicago Red Cross, believes that as much as 20% of all blood must be discarded...
