...contact (the afflicted scientist evidently got it from tiny bits of tissue that flew into his unprotected eyes or nose or both). The Yale lab, moreover, is classified as a level-3 biohazard facility, meaning, among other things, that it is kept at negative air pressure. Outside air can flow in through tiny cracks, but air flows out only via heavily filtered vents...

The President had already insisted he would not let the boat people into the U.S. proper -- that was politically unacceptable -- but the refugee flow swelled rather than ebbed. Blockade the island?

The U.S. will offer to relax immigration standards for Cubans if Fidel Castro will stop the refugee flow. Alarcon, who succeeded in getting a majority of the U.N. General Assembly to condemn the decades-old U.S. economic embargo against his country, wants to widen the talks to include it. The unprecedented meeting, to open at the U.S. mission to the United Nations, could run three days...
