...interpretation. Moreover, the surveys may not be relevant to current pills. The reports contain data on women who took older formulations of oral contraceptives; today's tablets contain lower levels of sex hormones and are considered much safer.

...Arafat, however, the gains made last week far outweigh the risks. Washington in effect recognizes the P.L.O. to be the sole, legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. The implicit recognition marks a personal triumph for Arafat, who has been down so often but never out. His organization has been splintered by factionalism and scourged by armies from Jordan to Israel but never destroyed. He has promised his people much but ! never delivered.

Instead, I have concluded that a decision not to file exceptions will improve the prospects of working creatively with representatives...
