...Cambodia's FANK (for Forces Armées Nationales Khmères) as possible.

...acids. Analysis showed HGH to be a far more complex molecule, a chain of 188 amino acids with two loops, one containing six subunits, the other 93. To reproduce the molecule, Li and his associates had first to determine the order of the acids in the chain and then reconstruct them from available ingredients. Finally they had to fold the chain and its loops into the precise size and three-dimensional shape of the natural hormone. Li's work was made even more difficult by the scarcity of natural HGH. All of the HGH presently available for either treatment...

...Canterbury insisted that "no one gave an order." That statement strains credibility. By Canterbury's own count, 16 or 17 men fired 35 rounds. They started at virtually the same moment and stopped at the same moment. Many civilian spectators at the scene and some officials seeking to reconstruct the event are convinced that an order was given. And someone made the initial mistake of ordering live ammunition distributed to all the men and permitting them to load their rifles-a procedure that is contrary to regular Army practice in civil disturbances. Once weapons are loaded, says one Pentagon...
