...haven of political stability and the world's biggest, most lucrative marketplace. A cheap dollar in relation to their strong currencies made American ventures all the more attractive. Foreign investment in U.S. firms has surged from $13.2 billion in 1970 to $65.5 bill ion last year...
...funding meant for research and development costs of a NASA ion propulsion system designed to facilitate study of the comet...
...golden tree of life." That, weirdly enough, was one of Le nin's favorite quotations. The striking Polish workers seem a lit tle farther than he from theory and a little closer to the green tree. In one sense they are behaving in a purely Marxian fash ion: proletarians rising up against the oppressors who contra the means of production. They have very far to go. The strikers now seem oddly like 19th century workers in Western Europe and the U.S. in the first stages of unionism. But perhaps there is hope. As Marx himself wrote...
...scientist was an American, Harvard-trained Ion Gresser, at the Institut de Recherches Scientifiques sur le Cancer in Villejuif, France. He made his own interferon by injecting viruses into the brains of laboratory mice; that stimulated the production of IF. After mashing the brains and processing them, he was left with a crude but potent solution of interferon. He gave the IF to a group of mice injected with a virus that causes leukemia, a blood cancer. After a month, the interferon-treated mice were in good health; those in an untreated control group had leukemia. Gresser then went...
...Congress provides the needed funding, the probe will be carried into earth orbit by the space shuttle in the summer of 1985. Boosted by a conventional rocket, it will fly off toward the comet, gradually accelerated by its cluster of six or eight small ion engines, during the four-month journey. On command from earth, it will drop a small instrument-packed probe provided by the European Space Agency directly into the comet's head, which scientists believe is made up of icy debris and a smattering of organic molecules. Because comets have probably changed little since they were...
