...last summer managed to turn Asilomar's directive into concrete rules. The guidelines continue the ban against the potentially most dangerous experiments. They also provide two principal lines of defense against lesser hypothetical risks. They establish four levels of physical containment; these range from standard laboratory precautions (dubbed "P-l") for experiments in the lowest-risk category-say, injecting harmless bacterial genes into E. coli-to ultrasecure laboratories ("P-4") for work with animal tumor viruses or primate cells. At present, two new P-4 facilities are almost ready. One is a gleaming white trailer parked behind...
Lockheed; instead of British P-l 154 supersonic fighters, it will order about 150 F-4 Phantoms from McDonnell Aircraft. While the decision will add to Britain's worrisome balance of payments deficit, Prime Minister Harold Wilson estimated that it will save $840 million over the next ten years. Wilson postponed an even bigger decision: whether to scrap development of the British TSR-2 strike bomber in favor of General Dynamics' F-111 (originally TFX) fighter. But he grumbled loudly at the "prodigious" cost of the British plane -as much as a prewar battleship...

...P-l Strike. Beck also silenced the carping of Seattle's newspapers. When the American Newspaper Guild (then in the A.F.L.) struck Hearst's Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Beck came to the Guild's aid. A mob of his hard-fisted cohorts surrounded the P-I building, beat up fleeing nonstrikers and closed the plant up tight as a coffin. Hearst set his writers to beating out virulently anti-Beck radio scripts. General Clarance B. Blethen, corpulent publisher of the Seattle Times, indignantly penned an editorial which ended with the ringing line: "How do you like the look...
