...organization El Fatah promptly claimed credit for the explosions that brought the total number of such incidents to 14 in two months. Its aim: to unsettle the civilian population and sabotage the modus vivendi between Jews and Arabs in Je rusalem. After a protest strike by the Arab population, normal life returned to Jerusalem. But on the Israeli-Jor danian border, the military hostilities erupted anew. At week's end Israelis and Jordanians were peppering one another across the frontier with small-arms fire...
...Avanzo's union may not have been striking, but the 180,000 daily commuters on the Long Island Rail Road could hardly tell the difference. Because of a 30% curtailment of normal service, which the state-owned Long Island blamed on a slowdown by D'Avanzo's car repairmen, overcrowded trains whizzed by their usual stops, forcing thousands of frustrated commuters to abandon the platforms in search of other transportation to their jobs. Engaged in a dispute with the ailing Long Island over job security, the union conceded that its men were refusing to work overtime...
With thousands of workers off the job at company plants across the country, Maryland broilers destined for Campbell chicken-noodle soup were in danger of turning leathery. At its plant in Paris, Tex., the company's output of Franco-American spaghetti products was running at least 50% below normal. But tomatoes were far and away the biggest casualties. California tomatoes intended for Campbell cans withered on the vine. Ohio patches went unpicked, and migrant workers hungrily moved on. Around Campbell's tomato-red brick home plant in Camden, N.J., the rich blaze of overripe fruit faded as mold...
Fast Freeze. Since all normal blood contains AHF when fresh, transfusion is an obvious answer. But the volume needed may amount to several pints a day, more than the patient's system can stand if the treatment has to be repeated often-as it usually does. And all transfusions carry the risk of hepatitis infection or severe allergic reactions. It was not until 1965 that a Stanford University physiologist, Judith Graham Pool, developed a technique of freezing, thawing and centrifuging fresh plasma to concentrate the AHF. (The rest of the plasma could still be broken down into a dozen...
Grateful Beneficiary. Now solutions are being found for even these problems. The Health Fund of Greater Cleveland has just begun sending around, along with its normal mobile blood-collecting unit, the nation's first auxiliary van equipped with a freeze-centrifuge apparatus. And recently Dr. Kenneth M. Brinkhous, a blood scientist at the University of North Carolina, collaborated with Dr. Edward Shanbrom of the Hyland (Los Angeles) division of Baxter Laboratories to perfect a new AHF six or seven times as strong as Dr. Pool's cryoprecipitate. The new preparation, 30 to 50 times as active as plasma...
