...Sunday Times, which had been badly stung by publishing the faked Hitler diaries in 1983, treated Vanunu's account with caution. The paper flew the former technician to London, where he was debriefed for two weeks by a team of reporters and scientists. Before publishing, the newspaper also invited comment from Israeli government officials. They declined -- and quickly ordered up a search for the Times's talkative source...
...three previous visits, Waite arrived in Beirut at the invitation of Islamic Jihad. He flew out of London Thursday evening, picked up a Lear jet in Frankfurt and continued on to Cyprus, arriving just after midnight. An American helicopter then transported him to Beirut.

It was hardly an academic question; the ozone layer is a blanket of oxygen molecules that protects the earth's surface from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, a form of light just beyond the human range of vision. Speculation on the reason for these "holes" has ranged from weather patterns and solar activity to the action of man-made chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs...
