...their trials proceeded in Spain's military courts, the case of the terrorists began to attract international attention. Plastique explosives blasted Iberia offices in Rome and Paris. A bomb threat at the Louvre, the first in the museum's history, sent police hunting through hundreds of Egyptian sarcophagi and Oriental vases. Early last week a delegation of French artists and intellectuals-among them Actor Yves Montand and Leftist Author Régis Debray-flew to Madrid to protest the sentences. They were quickly expelled.

U.S. investigators have, in fact, cited wind shear as contributing to the probable cause of only one previous accident: the crash of an Iberia Airlines DC-10 at Boston's Logan Airport on Dec. 17, 1973.

Now a team of scientists from Gulf, the University of Hawaii and the Republic of Zaïre's Institut Médical Evangélique report that this chance discovery has paid off. The researchers report that a single nine-banded armadillo that died recently at Gulf yielded some 300 trillion leprosy bacilli-good news for medical researchers who have been...
