...Gaulle has maintained more than just the political power of previous years. To a large extent his voting strength is undiminished. Even though he won many more seats in 1962, de Gaulle's popular vote was within a small fraction of the 37.5 per cent he received last week. Apparently there was no significant desertion by the President's former supporters. What changed was not the Gaullists but the opposition...
...spleens and lymph nodes are removed from human cadavers, and the extract is injected into horses. The horses' rejection mechanism goes to work and makes particles active against the human lymphocytes. The horses are later bled, antilymphocyte serum is extracted, and may be further refined to a globulin fraction. At the University of Colorado, a team headed by Dr. Thomas Starzl has performed 19 successful transplants since last June; given antilymphocyte globulin, the patients have got along well on sharply reduced doses of azathioprine and prednisone...

In Helms's office, there are "secure" red, grey, blue or white direct-line phones with scramblers attached-on which the President often calls...
