...last romantic, as Rome's daily Il Messagero put it last week, is the way most Italians still think of Raffaele Mi-nichiello, the disgruntled U.S. Marine who commandeered a TWA Boeing 707 at carbine point all the way from California to Rome in 1969. Minichiello's 6,900-mile, 17-hr. 48-min. record for long-distance hijacking still stands, as does his unique place in the folklore of Naples which claims him for its own, though he was born 80 miles away in the mountain town of Melito Irpino. Last week Minichiello set yet another outrageous...
...been mapped along the length of DNA in the chromosome of so elementary a creature as the digestive-tract bacterium Escherichia coli. The reason: just a teaspoon of E. coli DNA has information capacity approximately equal to that of a computer with a storage capacity of about 100 cu. mi...
Vision or Illusion? With elections scheduled next week in Tokyo-and in thousands of towns, cities and prefectures (states) throughout Japan-pollution has emerged as the capital's No. 1 issue. Socialist Governor Ryokichi Mi-nobe, 67, a scholarly, soft-spoken former economics professor, is pinning his hopes for re-election on the slogan: "Give Tokyo back its blue sky!"

Hatano joined the fray with...

Though the full toll remained uncertain because of censorship and disorganization in the world's most densely populated corner (1,400 people per sq. mi.), at week's end some estimates had 2,000 dead. Even if President Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan is prepared to accept casualties of a geometrically greater magnitude, the outcome is likely to be the final breakup of East and West Pakistan and the painful birth of a new nation...
...years ago, Dr. William Henry was ready to succumb to his annual urge and quit his general practice in rural Twisp, Wash. (pop. 750). As the only full-time physician in a 500-sq.-mi. area, Henry was so overworked that he seldom read a medical journal and never had a vacation. But last year the doctor got expert help from Carl Chillquist, a former Army medic. As Henry's paraprofessional aide, Chillquist enabled the doctor to see many more patients, skim those journals, and even get away for skiing and fishing. In recent years, Twisp itself has never...
