...might be able to seek funds and know-how in the West to revitalize its disastrously outmoded industry. The agreement was another barter deal, similar to earlier ones that ruinously shortchanged the Czechoslovaks; they must deliver trucks, heavy pipe and other manufactured goods to the Russians in return for raw materials. In addition, both countries will cooperate in the construction of a long pipeline to carry natural gas from the Soviet fields in western Siberia to Czechoslovak plants near Kosice...
...first, the men who composed the report on Philadelphia's prisons tried to put their findings in "sociological, medical and legal terminology less offensive than the raw, ugly and chilling language used by the witnesses and victims themselves." This approach, the writers said, was abandoned. "The incidents are raw, ugly and chilling. Any attempt to prettify so outrageous a situation would be hypocrisy...
...will get an injection to switch off his rejection mechanism before he gets his transplant. The most encouraging news of progress toward this goal came from British investigators, who reported that some mouse antigens appear remarkably similar to man's and might therefore serve as a source of raw material. More surprisingly, New York University's Dr. Felix T. Rapaport reported that a similar antigen can be extracted from some of the common streptococci. These are the microbes that cause "strep throats," scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, and a severe form of kidney disease...
...experimental results indicated a line for further research. But the implication for future treatment was clear, although the method by which the antigen would be treated or administered to protect a graft was not. If it happens that the detested streptococci are eventually "farmed" as a wholesale source of raw material for a transplant vaccine, that will be no more surprising than the transplant successes already achieved...
...Siberian thaw. Russia is already proposing that Japan might like to lend another $140 million to build a pipeline from Siberia's Ohka oilfields to the sea and perhaps take part in a $1.2 billion program to develop copper mines near Lake Baikal. Japan, which has few raw materials itself and is forced to import oil from the Middle East and copper from Africa, is understandably interested in these and other ventures...
