...both the nature of the virus and the patient's previous bouts with flu. The first A2 Asian virus appeared in 1957 and laid low millions around the world. Thanks to antibody formation, these people developed substantial immunity against further illness from this virus or its kin. But flu microbes, almost unique among the 500 or more viruses that plague man, are capable of quickly altering their antigenic properties. Thus they require different antibodies to neutralize them. HK-68 certainly represents a major mutation from the A2 of 1957-58. Whether it is different enough to rate...
Aboard the carrier the astronauts received a telephoned message direct from Lyndon Johnson. "You have made us feel kin to those Europeans five centuries ago who first heard news of the New World," the President said. "You've seen what man has never seen before." The next day, Johnson fulfilled a tradition by promoting Bill Anders to lieutenant colonel after his first space flight...
...pictures were the kind found in any family album. There was the radiant new mother sitting in bed in a prim peignoir, surrounded by her beaming kin.

And though payments, of course, are made to next of kin, the Wiedergutmachung (literally "making good again") is a legal anomaly that intentionally permits all sorts of quasi-legal advantages to the claimants. It is a "beautiful piece of liberal and humane legislation," as one of Lionel Davidson's German characters sums it up, that "any crook who puts...
Their decision was not reckless. Baboons are so prolific and hungry for farmers' crops that they are legally classified as vermin in South Africa. Highly developed primates and kin to man, baboons are also highly useful in medical research. Only recently, a baboon's cornea was successfully grafted onto a man's eye. A pig's liver, although it tolerates human blood, is not nearly so sophisticated as the baboon...
