...more inscrutable figure than McVeigh, and what went on during that nine-hour interrogation has always been one of the mysteries of the Oklahoma City bombing case. TIME has now obtained an official summary of the session, and it discloses in detail how Nichols tried desperately to save his skin, even giving incriminating statements against McVeigh. It is not clear if Nichols will take the stand, and he has made no public comments, so the most that will ever be heard from him may be these statements made to the FBI, many of them apparently false and contradictory...
...rejected him and his inept internal policies. Arafat was once a hero to the average Palestinian, but no longer. Lacking ballots, the frustrated populace may resort to bullets. Arafat knows this, and his reaction has been to sacrifice everything the Palestinian movement has achieved to save his own skin. Unless Albright and her experts act on these facts, no peace will come to the Middle East. HARRY A. SAMIR Plymouth, Mass.

His rhymes are so trite and delivery so weak that not even a chorus built...
...done in a matter of days without using animals. Molecular biologists are able to isolate enzymes that can trigger human diseases, then expose those enzymes to a plant's chemical compounds. If a plant extract blocks the action of a particular enzyme--say, one that promotes a skin inflammation--they know the plant has drug potential. By extracting specific chemicals from the leaves, roots or bark with a series of solvents and testing each sample individually, scientists can determine which of the plant's thousands of compounds actually blocks the enzyme...
...Goldman Environmental Prizes for 1997. Each received $37,500. Since then Cox has expanded his preservation efforts by establishing the Seacology Foundation, based at Brigham Young. Some of the foundation's funding comes through Cox's ethnobotanical success with medicinally, or in this case cosmetically, valuable plants. When Nu Skin International, a Utah-based personal-care company, wanted to hire Cox as a consultant, he charged a $40,000 fee that he plowed into the foundation. He also asked Nu Skin and Nature's Way, another Utah cosmetics firm, each to match his Goldman Prize award. Subsequently, Nu Skin began...
