...vote of 10,692 to 8,455 in a nonpartisan runoff, electing in his place a political novice, Attorney Jay Dermer, 37. Roosevelt (whose losing margin roughly equaled his winning ratio in 1965) may have been a remote casualty of the Middle East war, which had a galvanic effect on Miami Beach residents, a substantial majority of whom are Jewish.

...three leaders had gathered in the Ugandan capital of Kampala to sign a treaty that creates a new East African Community. Though it stops far short of political unity, the new pact, if it works, will almost inevitably strengthen political ties. When it goes into effect next December, it will create a common market in which the vast bulk of goods produced in any of the three countries will not be subject to tariffs at the borders of the other two.

Usually, that is good; the harmless debris may be either left in the cell or expelled from it. But in the case of some viruses, the effect may be to bare the virus particle's nucleic acid and leave it free to infect the cell. Moreover, as New York University's Dr. Gerald Weissmann reported in Michigan, some virus particles can survive a spell in a digestive sac, and emerge from it with their infective powers intact. By another mechanism, lysosomes can be directly harmful: they may, for reasons not yet guessed at, attack part of their...
