...Arab town of Hebron on the Israeli-occupied West Bank. A score of Jewish seminarians had finished their prayers at the Tomb of the Patriarchs, the shrine where the prophet Abraham is said to have been buried. The seminarians walked the short distance to the former Hadassah clinic in the old Jewish quarter. There they planned to have refreshments with the Israeli squatters who have occupied the building for the past year...
Suddenly, as they approached the gate, havoc erupted: from rooftops, three assailants opened fire with automatic weapons and lobbed six grenades into the group.

In 1972 Virologist Thomas Merigan, of Stanford University, and a group of British researchers began studying IF's effect on the common cold. Soviet doctors were claiming success in warding off respiratory infections with weak sprays of IF made in a Moscow laboratory. Merigan and his colleagues gave 16 volunteers a nasal spray of interferon one day before and three days after they were exposed to common cold viruses. Another 16 volunteers were subjected to the same viruses without any protection. The results...
