...Moon's Unification Church has stirred more controversy in the maritime town than anyone there can recall. "You'll have to strap marks on your ass before I give you a permit...you're not welcome here," Mayor Leo Alper told two church representatives when they applied for a harbor development permit in 1978. And since they opened shop in Gloucester four years ago, the world has started to watch. Members of Moon's church have gradually established a profitable fish processing plant there in addition to their even more lucrative operations in Kodiak, Alaska; Bayou LaBatre, Ala.; Mobile...
...Sadat-Begin summit, the seventh since Sadat's historic journey to Jerusalem in November 1977, thus produced mixed results. The meetings on Mount Carmel, a setting that offered the participants a soothing panoramic view of Haifa harbor, reaffirmed the underlying strength of the Egyptian-Israeli treaty. Despite strong differences in attitude and priorities, Sadat and Begin gave every indication that their relationship is now rooted in friendship and respect. In fact, some diplomats are convinced that after months of occasional disappointments and persistent distrust, the two men have grown genuinely fond of each other...

It also confirmed the existence of another ring and a magnetic field, and dimmed hopes that Titan, Saturn's largest moon, might harbor some form of life...
Suddenly, an enormous explosion shattered the summer stillness of the harbor. The blast blew the boat "to smithereens," in the words of one eyewitness, and hurled all seven occupants into the water. Nearby fishermen raced to the rescue. Still breathing, Lord Mountbatten was pulled into one of the boats. He died, his legs nearly blown off, almost immediately. Two Belfast doctors on holiday hastily set up a makeshift aid station on the wharf, using old doors for stretchers, broken broomsticks for splints and ripped-up sheets to bind up wounds until ambulances arrived to rush the victims to Sligo General...
Many scientists are afraid that the acquisition of such bacterial immunity is greatly hastened by adding antibiotics to animal feed. Most livestock already harbor large populations of drug-resistant bacteria, since the less hardy microbes are wiped out by the drugs. Opponents of the feed practice argue that even with relatively clean handling and packaging conditions, these bacteria could be transferred to meat and poultry products and eventually wind up in the human gastrointestinal tract. There they could pass on their defensive plasmids to resident bacteria in the gut. One strong piece of evidence: people who are often in contact...
