...Jerusalem came under rocket attack. Three 6-ft.-long, 50-lb., Soviet-made Katyusha missiles'exploded harmlessly in the city. In London a small bomb exploded, injuring a woman in the office of Israel's Zim shipping company. Angrily, the Israelis warned the Arabs that they cannot hope to "sit in safety in their offices throughout the world unless safety prevails in the offices of Israeli companies." By week's end, the only noteworthy Israeli attack was against an army base near Asyut, midway between Cairo and the Aswan Dam, and about 200 miles from the nearest...

For the long run, the Negroes' best hope may lie in the advancing...
Researchers will go anywhere and test anything in the hope of finding medicines to use against diseases and disorders that by present methods are either difficult to treat or incurable. One of their most fortuitous finds was made in a Peoria (Ill.) market, where they scraped from an overripe cantaloupe the parent strain of mold that fathered millions of doses of penicillin. Now that most of the world's land surface has been finecombed for microbes that might yield new antibiotics, the scientists are turning to the sea. One useful drug, cephalothin (which is effective against many germs that...
