In any other year, Malay farmers would make small fortunes on this rare fruit. Last week durians were rotting by the roadside because Chinese trucks were not sent for them-as they are not being sent anywhere in Malaysia's rice bowl.

Blumberg at Philadelphia's Institute for Cancer Research. Blumberg, who was studying the effects of frequent blood transfusions for diseases such as leukemia, tested blood from many parts of the world. Of 24 samples examined, only one from an aborigine caused the test-tube reaction he was looking for. Blumberg found the cause to be an ultramicroscopic viruslike particle. He and Dr. Harvey J. Alter, of the National Institutes...
