...fellow Muslim country, Washington and Islamabad quickly rediscovered each other. That rediscovery was at the heart last week of the warm greeting in Washington given by President Reagan to Pakistan's unelected President since 1977, Mohammed Zia ul-Haq. With his good looks, set off by an invariable charcoal tunic, and his ready grin and seemingly reasonable attitude, Zia staged an energetic performance.

In the technique, developed by Immunologist David Terman and his colleagues, blood plasma is removed from a patient and run through a device containing beads of charcoal coated with protein A, a component of the staph bacteria. The plasma is then returned to the patient. The scientists speculate that the bacterial protein somehow alters substances carried in the bloodstream that were paralyzing the body's natural defenses...
