However cosmopolitan he may be, he still derives his primary identity from his tribe, together with a loyalty toward his fellow tribesmen that is as fierce as is his utter disregard for any outsider. Makonde tribesmen still slit their cheeks to identify themselves to the world, but it is unnecessary surgery.

...University Physiologists Richard Gardner and Robert Edwards reported in Nature that they mated rabbits, then from the females took fertilized egg cells that had already grown into tiny embryos but had not yet become implanted in the uterine wall. They placed each embryo under a microscope, cut a tiny slit in its surrounding membrane and drew out several hundred cells with a suction pipette. The cells were then examined for the presence of sex chromatin, a substance found only in female cells. Separated into male and female groups, the embryos were next placed in a culture medium, a laboratory equivalent...

Israeli planes dive-bombed Jordanian positions, then wheeled west into the sun to confound the aim of Arab anti aircraft gunners. The village of Tel el-Arbain, an El Fatah commando base, was in flames. A Jordanian oil dump near the river burned an ominous red far into the night...
