...Americans struggle to fill key posts, unreformed Baathist hard-liners are trying to reassert their authority. "We've left the bad Baathists a lot of latitude, and they have had a lot of time to regroup," says retired Colonel Ted Seel, Central Command liaison to the Iraqi National Congress, a group opposed to Saddam that recently returned from exile. Dr. Goran Talabani, a neurologist who is advising the Americans on Iraq's health-care system, says Baath loyalists are threatening Health Ministry employees and telling them not to cooperate with the Americans. Talabani, a cousin of Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani...

...host of variables in eating and drinking habits. So far, even the most hopeful clues have led to dead ends. Last week, however, a U.S. researcher suggested an exotic explanation for the high incidence of stomach cancer among Koreans and other Far Eastern peoples. The culprit, Dr. David J. Seel told the James Ewing Society in Manhattan, may be a mold used in the preparation of a favorite Oriental delicacy, soya paste...
...Seel, who has studied 919 cases of stomach cancer at the Presbyterian Medical Center in Chonju, South Korea, described the annual ritual of making soy sauce and soya paste. Each winter, virtually every household makes loaves of soybean mash and stores them in a cool, dark place, often under the eaves, so that they will get moldy. To make sure that the mold develops, some Koreans buy a pure culture and spread it on their loaves. By early spring, a furry black or gray growth covers the mash. The Koreans scrape off this "exuberant fungus," as Seel described...
...trouble, Seel suggests, may be twofold. The most widely used mold is Aspergillus flavus, some growths of which secrete substances called aflatoxins. For some animals, these are among the most powerful cancer-causing agents known. Moreover, says Seel, the stomach lining seems especially liable to damage, including cancer, in those with vitamin A deficiency. Among Koreans who had both low vitamin A readings and a high consumption of soya paste, stomach cancer was twice as common as among other groups...
