...Hauser, 56, whose previous allegations have been characterized by the Dutch commission as 'largely incorrect and based on false premises," struck again last week when he told the London Sunday Express of rumors that a Tory Cabinet minister had received a $ 1 million payoff three years ago to prevent Air Holdings Ltd. from backing out of its commitment to order 30 Lockheed TriStars (with options for 20 more). Since the TriStar was the one plane that could use Rolls-Royce RB-211 engines-and therefore the plane on which the Tory government's efforts to bail out bankrupt...
Unlike other experiments in "genetic engineering" (TIME, July 19), Khorana's work apparently does not pose dangers. For one thing, the gene is assembled with control signals, which enables scientists to prevent runaway activity. Also, there is no attempt to produce new gene combinations from different organisms that could accidentally breed mutants against which humans or other life have no natural defenses. Indeed, some scientists see in gene synthesis enormous potential for good. It could, for example, eventually be used to replace defective genes in ailing humans-in hemophiliacs, say. It may also bring new understanding-and possibly control...

Thus about the only concrete result will be a separation of the opposing forces-assuming that the U.S. accepts Pyongyang's demarcation proposal. At week's end, Frudden was holding out for guarantees of safety for U.N.C. personnel before doing so. But both sides also agreed to hold...
