...stuffed their mud-walled warehouses and piled the beachfronts with great dumps of cosmetics, transistor radios, automobile parts, nylons and U.S. cigarettes. The Pakistanis, too pleased at plugging the hole to begrudge Gwadar its last killing, ran up their green and white flag and announced that they hope to develop the place as a navy and air base, eventually to deepen its shallow port until it ranks after Karachi as the republic's second seaport...
...phenomenon is still a complete mystery. According to Surgeons Tilden C. Everson and Warren H. Cole, who have long studied it at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, there is no single cause, but there are likely combinations of causes. Some people may be able to develop antibodies against a possible cancer virus; others may have hormonal changes that are just right for killing cancer. Nutrition of cancer may also be reduced or regression may follow fever or acute infection. Such possibilities are all remote; but the fact that the body sometimes knows how to kill cancer may some...
What happened? Everywhere the questions swirled. Paranoid delusions seldom develop in children so young; schizophrenia can and does (though some psychiatrists disagree on the symptoms). There are usually signs long before illness is apparent: a predisposition to unsociability, passivity, withdrawal.

Its purpose: to hunt down fresh operatic talent for a summer of seasoning in Italy. Winners would get round-trip fare to Italy and a living allowance, free coaching in Milan and a crack at singing professionally on Italian opera stages. Last week five...
...fanned the spark was a wiry, 63-year-old Aussie track coach named Percy Cerutty. A physical-fitness fanatic, Cerutty got Elliott to develop his deep chest by lifting weights, harden his legs by such tricks as running through ankle-deep sand and sprinting up and down an 80-ft. sand dune 40 times a day or more. To give Elliott the energy to run 25 miles a day, Cerutty stoked him with oats, nuts and fruits. He urged his pupil to "thrust against pain and be contemptuous...
