Declared the rebel radio: "We have decided to form an Iraqi republic which adheres to full Arab unity and pray God to help us all." Shrilled another broadcast: "Today is a day to kill and be killed. Down with imperialist agents. Compatriots, now we can speak and breathe." Another broadcast gave the first indication that at least some supporters of the King were fighting back. "Some of our compatriots are firing on us," reported the rebel radio announcer in almost disbelieving tones.

They know that some damaged genes in humans have bad effects so subtle that they are hard to measure or count. They suspect that radiation damage to genetic material may have many unknown relations to cancer. Most of them say emphatically...

There he wins the love of Ariadne, a Cretan princess, who gives him a magic sword with which to kill the Minotaur and a spool of cord with which to thread his way back out of the maze. On the way home to Athens, Theseus puzzlingly abandons Ariadne on the island of Naxos. He also fails to change the ship's sails from black to white, so that his father...
