...dead set against foreign aid cuts or troop withdrawals, and the Commerce Department argues that restrictions on investment would destroy the U.S.'s reputation as the world's freest capital market. The White House figures that a "head tax" on outward-bound tourists would be political poison...
Hooray for You. Even before the invitation from the News, however, Ala bama lawyers had begun responding to the article - in personal letters to Professor Frankel. Most of the letters were attacks on Northern prejudice. But along with the poison-pen mail came letters from five Alabama lawyers who had been provoked into re-examining their own obligations as members of the bar.

The sashimi is cut from the back flesh of the fugu, which is nonpoisonous* unless it has been carelessly contaminated with poison from other parts...
...power, the poison exists in very small amounts, and its molecule is so delicate that it falls to pieces when chemically molested. Generations of chemists managed to make stronger and stronger concentrations of tetrodotoxin, and in 1949 Professor Akira Yokoo isolated the poison in pure crystalline form. But still the molecular formula defied investigation...
...kind of modern apparatus as soon as it became available, but progress was slow. Then some of them turned to X-ray diffractions and called on an IBM 7090 computer to interpret their results. Finally, they found the long-sought formula which is unlike that of any other known poison. Then a group of chemists at Stanford University led by Professor Harry S. Mosher found the same poison in egg clusters of California newts. Both U.S. and Japanese chemists are now trying to figure out why such distantly related animals as fish and newts should have the same rare poison...
