...THERE WAS one reservation. Students said that the patients never talked about each other's problems, no matter how close their friendships. "It was not that it was an unwritten law," one boy said.

"It would have destroyed a basic trust," another student said. "It would have taken away the acceptance that people need to pull themselves together...
...with Israel's Moshe Dayan, the most successful soldier since World War II. His chances-of succeeding Ho seem slim, however, though he could be chosen if Hanoi decided that an international reputation were required. Before joining Ho in China in 1940, Giap studied and taught law, politics and French military history. "He could draw every battle plan of Napoleon," a pupil recalled.

None of the corporations said to be involved have ever been represented by Fortas' old law firm, Arnold & Porter, which decided against taking him back after the Supreme Court affair-though his wife Carolyn is still...
...control the crown-of-thorns, some scientists suggest repopulating the reefs with tritons, which are now protected by law in Queensland, Australia. Others propose spreading lime on the ocean floor, a technique that has already been used with moderate success to protect Long Island Sound's oyster beds from the common American starfish, Asterias forbesi. A Japanese scientist has even advised stringing wire around coral reefs to repel the starfish with a low-voltage electric shock...
