Cancer specialists have been attacking the killer disease with an ever widening variety of treatments. These include traditional surgery, X rays, drugs and radioactive elements-or combinations of them. This week doctors at Brooklyn's Veterans Administration Hospital reported initial success with a new weapon in the anticancer arsenal: high-frequency radio waves. By using the waves to heat cancerous tissue, they said, they had destroyed or shrunk malignant tumors in 21 cancer patients...
...began developing the 4,500-acre Sea Pines Plantation. It became a world-renowned resort that respected the environment -the pine trees are still standing, and the 'gators and a host of sea birds still make it their home-and also turned a handsome profit.

Srouji thus became the first journalist to be identified as an FBI informant since the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence recently disclosed that the bureau has for years been using reporters and editors in various collaborative roles. And she became the first journalist to be fired for such activity when Tennessean Publisher John...
Oriana Fallaci: You'd be surprised how limited the fame of any journalist, especially a foreigner, is, in America. But about success. As I said when interviewed by Esquire, "There's nothing that changes one like success. Success, if you're not stupid, is a marvelous way to grow up. And power. Of course. You lose your complexes and become more secure. Success and power. You grow up if you can use them well...
