...Weizman's chagrin, the Cabinet rejected the proposal because the linkage between the Israeli-Egyptian treaty and broader peace negotiations was too strong. The document called for the two nations to begin practical negotiations on Palestinian self-government within a month of the treaty's signing.

Though all scientists agree that Steptoe must document his claim, most do not regard his delay as a "failure to publish." Indeed, a scientific paper is usually not in print until from six months to a year after research is completed. Says Dr. Albert Decker of the New York Fertility Research Foundation, which is going ahead with its plans to present Steptoe with an award on Dec. 1: "You can't expect...
