...their luxurious suite in the Hotel Bristol, Shadrin kept a rendezvous with the two KGB officers on the steps of a Vienna church. He vanished. High-level U.S. intelligence officials in Washington believe Shadrin was kidnaped and is probably in a Soviet prison or dead. Some U.S. agents suspect he may have been a KGB plant in the first place...
What triggers this immunological mayhem remains one of medicine's major puzzles. Some doctors suspect that a tendency toward lupus may be inherited. At the University of California in San Francisco, researchers found that in mice, at least, lupus appeared to be aggravated by female hormones and controlled by male hormones. Other scientists think that the disease may be triggered by viruses. Possibly all these elements may be involved in lupus.

In California and elsewhere, use of the drug -especially among teen-agers-has reached epidemic proportions. It accounts for 10% of all drug-overdose cases in some Los Angeles hospitals. San Francisco authorities suspect that at least five murders in the past year involved users of the compound. First developed in the 1950s by Parke, Davis & Co. as an anesthetic, PCP produced such extreme reactions during trials that the drug was quickly shelved-although it is now sometimes used legally as an animal tranquilizer...
