...wounded as demonstrations broke out anew, and both pro-and anti-fedayeen forces pressed the Premier to take a stand. "The government can not take any side without splitting the country," said Karami, abruptly submitting his resignation. That presented President Charles Helou with the task of finding someone to form a government of "national unity" to end the unrest. But the only way to accomplish that would be for the new government to endorse freedom of action for the fedayeen, at least in principle, drawing Lebanon inexorably into the conflict with Israel...
...Distinction. The main debate in the Cabinet centered on the issue of who in the future should be regarded as a war criminal. Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger argued that "our job is to bring to justice the mass murderer, the beast in human form." Most of his Christian Democrat ministers favored excluding from the war crime category those Germans whose offenses were relatively small and who had only been following orders. But the Social Democrats held that it was impossible to make such a distinction and their view prevailed. In fact, the Cabinet agreed to remove the statute of limitations from...
...fellow worker flew out to the Mojave Desert and chalked two half -mile-long lines on its surface. They photographed each other standing, or lying between the oppressively inward-pressing parallel lines. As De Maria points out, "There is a terrific double energy yielded by the tightness of geometric form combined with the feeling of infinite space." His current "Three Continents" project will superimpose marks carved on the surfaces of deserts in Africa, India and North America onto a triple-exposure aerial photograph. Seems like a lot of trouble, not counting the cost of the airplane, but De Maria spent...
...increase the coagulability of blood and therefore the risk of clot formation. British researchers have shown that women under 40 risk a clotting problem that is seven to nine times greater than the minuscule risk among nonpregnant women of the same age not on the Pill. Clots may form in either superficial or deep veins of the legs (thrombophlebitis), and may travel to the lungs, causing pulmonary embolism, which carries a high death rate. Or they may form in the brain, causing strokes. There are also a few cases in which a myriad minute clots have blocked circulation...
Second Generation. Not even the most enthusiastic supporters of the Pill in its present form believe that it is the ideal contraceptive. In addition to its side effects, it has the disadvantage of requiring close calendar watching. Researchers are working strenuously to produce a morning-after pill, a one-a-month pill or a once-a-year injection to achieve the same result with greater certainty and less fuss. What may well be the second generation of oral contraceptives is already undergoing extensive tests...
