...current Science magazine, researchers point out that the problem of drug resistance is not limited to a few germs but spans an entire spectrum of disease-causing microbes, including those responsible for gonorrhea, meningitis, streptococcal pneumonia and staphylococcus infections. "Bacteria are cleverer than men," says Dr. Harold Neu of Columbia University's medical school...
...latching onto a specific molecule on its cell wall, a change in that molecule could make it impossible for the antibiotic to stick to its target. It's something like the protect-the-perimete r strategy used by defenders of ramparts on medieval fortresses. In other cases, says Neu, the bacteria develop enzymes capable of destroying the antibiotics and even molecular pumps that expel the drugs from the cell. The most recent example of bacterial resourcefulness came to light only two weeks ago. By deleting a single gene, an English-French research team announced, certain strains of the TB germ...

In Hamburg, an estimated 100,000 West Germans stood in the city center to observe the requisite five minutes of silence before dispersing for an afternoon of speeches.

With large peace demonstrations expected to gain momentum next month, West German and U.S. officials fear that such violence could intensify. Some of the protests will focus on possible missile sites, such as Bitburg and Neu-Ulm, where relations between local residents and U.S. soldiers have generally been good. But confrontations might occur even in those places, especially if demonstrators block access to the bases. The West German Interior Ministry has warned, moreover, that terrorist attacks cannot be ruled out. U.S. and West German authorities have formed a joint committee to discuss preventive measures. "The thing we fear most," says...
