Double Jeopardy? Conceivably, the inquest could disclose evidence of criminal negligence in Mary Jo's death. After Judge Boyle files his report, Dinis might go to a grand jury. If Kennedy is ever indicted, it will be difficult to find a juror who has not been "prejudiced" by something he heard on TV or read in the newspapers about the inquest. On the other hand, there already has been considerable publicity of this kind. If his lawyers do not obtain an injunction, Kennedy could invoke the Fifth Amendment at the inquest and avoid giving answers, but he is unlikely...
...billion years younger than the planet itself, and the moon rocks from the Sea of Tranquillity are about the same age. Nonetheless, Urey and other cold-moon proponents think that when men reach the lunar highlands, which are generally considered to be older than the maria, they will find material as old as 4.5 billion years-or almost as old as the solar system itself...
...reserves have been discovered under the snows of the remote North Slope, but the distance and weather conditions raise drilling costs to double those for bringing oil out of the ground in the U.S. In order to sell the Alaska oil at competitive prices, Humble and its partners must find an economical way to bring it down south...
...Brusquely, they insist on seeing the owner-and they offer him a proposition for a takeover on the spot. France's Willot brothers-Bernard, 45, Jean-Pierre, 40, Antoine, 38, Regis, 35-have made that scenario increasingly familiar in European industrial circles. They make it their business to find out about textile firms in financial trouble and move in to grab control at bargain prices. In ten years of incessant acquisitions, they have stitched together the biggest textile combine in the Common Market, comprising some 50 firms with combined annual sales of $245 million. They produce 40% of France...
...extract proves to be active, the next stage of testing will be more difficult: isolating the individual ingredient responsible for the activity. Even more difficult is the task of determining the chemical identity of the isolated substance. Once that is done, it must be tested in animals to find out whether its germ-killing powers outweigh whatever undesirable side effects it may have. If the compound proves both safe and effective enough to be tested in man, the laboratory chemists will face the task of either synthesizing it or using the natural product as the base for a semisynthetic drug...
