...most pleasantly surprised at the fair treatment you gave Sister Marian Peter, my brother and myself in the article "Priestly Rebels" [Feb. 2]. However, you made it sound like our decision was a reaction to "tough government measures" of a few days' duration. It was not. It was our response to a permanent situation of violence to human nature that can be seen in any set of statistics on Guatemala giving the infant-mortality rate, life expectancy, literacy, average income, distribution of the land, etc. You say we have broken the rule of noninterference in political affairs...

LeVeen and colleagues reasoned that if old-fashioned silk suture thread offers hiding places for germs, it will also have room to absorb a fair amount of antibacterial chemical. After swelling the silk to make it still more absorbent, they soaked it in a preparation of benzethonium, a modern, potent germ killer. Then they tested the sutures in mice, and got 100% protection against infection for at least five days, even when the animals were...
