Much the same mixture of exhilaration and invective marked the first flush of war in the other Arab capitals. "Kill the Jews!" screamed Radio Baghdad. A Syrian commander offered the rash prediction to radio listeners that "we will destroy Israel in four days." In Damascus, schools were closed, more in celebration than precaution against air raids, and schoolchildren, singing rhythmically, filled sandbags and placed them around public buildings. Having no prepared shelters, the Syrians hastily converted two discothèques. In Beirut, supplies of laundry bluing, vegetable dye and blue paint quickly ran out as drivers rushed to darken their headlights...
...many varieties of penicillin have a unique disadvantage: about one in a hundred patients who get them by injection becomes sensitized, so that his next shot may produce a severe reaction marked by rash, fever, swollen glands and pain in the joints. In a few cases, the response is so fast and catastrophic that it is called anaphylactic shock, a violent reaction usually associated with the introduction of foreign protein into the system. A patient thus afflicted may die within minutes...

Dey complains that the rash of low scores in P.G.A. tournaments "cheapens the concept of par." Both he and Jones insist that fans prefer to watch a golfer battle the hazards of a tough, demanding course-such as Georgia's 6,980-yd. Augusta National, site of this week's Masters tournament. "Galleries...
...Angeles' Dr. Edward T. Tyler found a male pill that knocked out the sperm after two or three weeks. Trouble was, the drug worked with prison volunteers who had no access to alcohol. Combined with even a single glass of beer, it produced severe vomiting, an intolerable rash, giddiness and stupor...
