...first place, unless it somehow produces its own internal narcotics. Acting on just such a premise, Pharmacologists John Hughes and Hans Kosterlitz at Scotland's University of Aberdeen in 1975 isolated two peptides from the brains of pigs. Remarkably, the peptides seemed to be natural opiates. Hormonologist Choh Hao Li of the University of California in San Francisco had already discovered similar molecules in the pituitary glands of camels, animals whose insensitivity to pain had long intrigued scientists. Hughes and Kosterlitz dubbed the molecules enkephalins (from the Greek word for head). Subsequently, scientists identified kindred painkilling molecules that they...
...Hunan Style Chinese Cookbook (Harmony Books; 145 pages; $10), Chung relates charming anecdotes from his native Li-ling county and introduces many worthy dishes, notably hot and sour chicken, fried asparagus in hot black bean sauce and, for breakfast, steamed thin-sliced pork with fermented black beans.

Their home, which they share with three daughters, 11, 9 and 4, consists of a small entry hall, large liv ing room and sizable bedroom, small kitchen and back court with...
...southern Viet Nam, the U Minh Forest, the Central Highlands and the area bordering Cambodia's Parrot's Beak, are proving as inhospitable to Hanoi's troops as they were to America's. Tattered groups of militant Hoa Hao Buddhists, disgruntled peasants and bitter former soldiers of the fallen Thieu regime in Saigon have established strongholds in these areas. Around Dalat, for instance, up to 2,000 veterans sporadically battle the forces of the new rulers. The fighting has been serious enough for circumspect Hanoi newspapers to admit that "veterans do not hesitate to open fire...
