...volatile Middle East, Ford has authorized massive support for Israel ($4.3 billion in aid in the past two years), along with measures designed to gain the trust of the Arab states, such as economic aid and arms sales.

In Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, the 120,000 Chinese cadres are much in evidence, and the exiled Dalai Lama's Potala Palace is no more than a well-tended cultural relic. Urumchi, the capital of the Sinkiang Uighur autonomous region, has grown from 80,000 people in 1949 to 800,000 today, of whom 60% are Han, only 40% the traditional nomadic peoples-Uighurs, Kazakhs, Kirghiz and Mongols...

...kidney transplanters owe much of their success to a rapidly emerging science: immunology. Its practitioners devote themselves to the extremely complex task of finding ways of overcoming the body's natural defenses against foreign cells, so that transplanted tissue will not be rejected. Up to now, the usual tactic has been a form of biochemical overkill known as immunosuppression: the transplant patient is heavily dosed with drugs that interfere with the function of white blood cells-the major weapon of the immune system-and block the formation of antibodies. These are the wondrous proteins designed by nature to seek...
