...economy might be far healthier if it were not tied so tightly to Russia, which continues to extract favorable deals from its satellite. Ulbricht in 1965 committed 45% of the country's exports for the following five years to the Soviet Union at ridiculously low prices-an act that caused East German Planning Chief Erich Apel to commit suicide on the day the deal was announced. As a result, East Germany is forced to ship eastward many of the machines that it needs to modernize its own factories and many of the exports that it needs to increase trade...
...ANTILYMPHOCYTE TREATMENT. One way to depress white-cell and antibody activity is to introduce antibody against the lymphocytes themselves. So thymus glands, spleens and lymph nodes are removed from human cadavers, and the extract is injected into horses. The horses' rejection mechanism goes to work and makes particles active against the human lymphocytes. The horses are later bled, antilymphocyte serum is extracted, and may be further refined to a globulin fraction. At the University of Colorado, a team headed by Dr. Thomas Starzl has performed 19 successful transplants since last June; given antilymphocyte globulin, the patients have got along...
...21st Century doesn't always startle its audience to this extent, it invariably manages to give it pause. In earlier programs, it photographed an operable mechanical grasshopper that man will use on the moon, and an esoteric airtight container that will extract water from moon rock by heating it to 300° C. Sometimes the producers are lucky enough to be on hand for a rare event, as in a soon-to-be-shown film of a kidney transplant at Cleveland Clinic...
Through it all, Syria trumpeted a bitterly anti-Western line, even to the extent of spreading word that CIA agents were prowling the countryside, vampirelike, to extract Syrian blood for transfusions to wounded G.I.s in Viet...
Lyndon Johnson will certainly find it far more difficult to extract cooperation and cash from the 90th Congress, which convenes next week, than from the compliant, free-spending 89th. The three-seat Democratic loss in the Senate (the new lineup: 64 v. 36) will result mainly in strengthening the Republicans' moderate-liberal wing. The G.O.P. gain of 47 House seats in the November election, which cuts the Democratic advantage to 248 v. 187, gives the Republicans their strongest House delegation since 1957-58 and nudges the House back toward its traditional role of skeptic. A recent survey by Congressional...
