Those slight fissures, however, are becoming perceptible. Son of one of the most prominent men in Pennsylvania, young William is engaged to the daughter of a wealthy physician--and one of Benjamin's political enemies. Before the wedding can take place, the father imperiously takes his son off to London in 1757. Reading law at the Inns of Court serves to strengthen the young student's monarchist tendencies. Moreover, the circumstances of his birth only serve to deepen William's belief in British law. Observes Randall: In 1758, "William Franklin, bastard son of a provincial printer, was called...
...Texas men were sentenced to 30 years in prison for the 1982 bombings of two clinics in Florida. One of them had been joined by the other man's brother in the kidnaping of an Illinois doctor who performed abortions and the physician's wife. The three men claimed they belonged to the Army of God, a group that investigators insist had only the three members, although anonymous callers claiming responsibility for later attacks have used the same name. Curtis Anton Beseda, an unemployed roofer, confessed his guilt while on trial for four arson attacks last year on clinics...
Morning, some weeks later. Miss Quested has found her adventure, her brief and, as it will happen, terrifying glimpse of Indian reality. A young Muslim physician, Dr. Aziz, has mounted an excursion to the Marabar Caves, in the hills beyond Chandrapore, for the two English ladies.

But even this great beast and the train of servants stretching...
...Iran's Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini that the episode at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran had still not been resolved as far as the Reagan Administration was concerned. The six-day hijacking had come to a dramatic end early last week when three Iranian security officers disguised as a physician and cleaning crew slipped on board the grounded Airbus and rescued nine hostages, including two Americans, who were found tied to their seats. Four Arabic-speaking hijackers, thought to be linked to the same pro-Khomeini Lebanese Shi'ite terrorist groups that some U.S. officials believe carried out murderous bombing...
...loads of hazardous materials, chiefly petrochemicals, are shipped across the country by rail or road. Considering the volume of this production and movement, fatal accidents are few, just eight deaths last year. One reason, contends the chemical industry, is its elaborate and expensive safety precautions. Says Bruce Karrh, a physician who is also vice president for safety, health and environmental affairs for Du Pont: "We began by manufacturing explosives, and we have retained our extreme sensitivity for the question of safety." The attentiveness has paid off. The chemical industry's safety record in 1983 showed 5.2 reported occupational injuries...
