...guerrillas also stepped up their war, as weather improved. The fedayeen planted a package of explosives outside the British consulate in Jerusalem, presumably in response to reports that Britain intends to sell tanks to Israel, reports that London declines to confirm or deny.

...Princeton and at Indiana State University have been working on a variety of complex experiments designed to detect tachyons-so far without success. Feinberg himself has suggested a massive, computer-aided survey of existing bubble-chamber pictures of particle collisions, hoping that someone may find a pattern that will confirm the presence of tachyons...
