West German officials believe that the husbands or paramours of all six spying secretaries were East German control agents. As it happens, even before the latest defections, Bonn had launched a campaign to tighten its security system; it included a special warning for unmarried female employees. Posters in government buildings show a man nuzzling a woman. The caption: "There is a code word that opens safes: love."

The insurgent groups-Washington-based PROD Inc. and the Teamsters for a Democratic Union in Detroit-aim to wrest control of the scandal-scarred union's leadership. The rebels want more democracy and a cleanup...
Still, discoveries almost amounted to biochemical wizardry. Why, for instance, did drugs control disordered thought and hallucinations in some schizophrenics, yet fail abysmally in others? To unravel such puzzles, researchers turned increasingly to the brain, composed of tens of billions of nerve cells called neurons. Passing electrical impulses from one part of the brain to another, these elongated, finger-like cells communicate with one another across junctions or gaps-synapses-by the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. As these chemical broad jumpers leap across a synapse, carrying their message, they attach themselves to the neighboring cell, triggering a fresh electrical...
...studying various neurotransmitters, notably acetylcholine, has found that their production can be increased by diet. Indeed, by upping a patient's intake of foods rich in lecithin-a precursor of acetylcholine -especially egg yolks, meat and fish, such disorders as senility, manic-depression and the loss of motor control associated with the degenerative disease Huntington's chorea, or tardive dyskinesia, can be substantially alleviated...
