Though Rittersdorf was suspended, the teachers are discussing possible legal action with their lawyers. Meantime, they hope that the incident will force the crestfallen board to come closer to meeting their salary demands. "It was like something out of I Spy," says one teacher. "But something good will come of this. The board will now have to listen to the teachers"-and presumably without bugs...
...Science has grown from an obscure agriculture station in the desert town of Rehovot, 15 miles south of Tel Aviv, to a 250-acre complex with 17 major departments that explore everything from atomic physics and molecular biology to seismology. Even the Arabs recognize its importance. It was one of the first targets that Radio Cairo claimed had been destroyed during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war-though not a single Egyptian plane ever appeared over Rehovot...
...medicine, its scientists have developed a tiny, magnetic catheter that can travel through human blood vessels to reach the remotest regions of the body. As the world's leading producer of "heavy oxygen," the institute supplies these radioactive isotopes for tracer work to labs around the globe. One of its most ingenious feats was achieved by Biophysicist Aaron Katchalsky, who used synthetic fibers to duplicate the perplexing process by which muscles convert raw chemical energy into mechanical force...
...only one important respect has the institute failed to "make miracles." Except for a few quiet, unpublicized contacts, it has been unable to arrange any cooperation with Arab scientists. As much in sadness as in fear, the institute is now building bomb shelters on its flower-filled campus. Yet like most Israelis, the institute's staff is unflaggingly optimistic. Not too many centuries ago, Arab and Jewish scholars kept scientific learning alive in the Middle Ages. Says Mathematician Gillis: "We look forward to the renewal of that cooperation...
...years, no one made any effort to recover the missing bones, and the location of the bridge was eventually forgotten. But in 1967, when Yale Paleontologist John H. Ostrom learned that a new highway was being built through Manchester, he decided to revive the search. After surveying more than 60 bridges in the Manchester area, he ultimately narrowed the hunt to a single 40-ft. span across a small brook on the outskirts of town. Last summer, when the highway builders decided that the old bridge's time had come. Ostrom and his scientific team were ready...
