...estimated $200 million to institutions in Israel and the Jewish diaspora. In 1995, according to a memo authored by one of Rich's lawyers and obtained by TIME, he offered to aid the peace process by helping finance a private investment bank with Jordan and the Palestinians--with the caveat that he would need to move freely throughout the region. Israel launched a "confidential initiative" to get the U.S. off Rich's back, according to the memo.

Even in biology or chemistry, one will be confronted with short-answer explanations or molecules that must be synthesized from scratch.

But the odds of dying in a hospital after an emergency angioplasty--a balloon-tipped catheter is threaded through the vessel--are 40% lower than after a round of clot busters. Caveat: the finding applies only to centers that perform angioplasties frequently--at least 50 times a year...
