...public to be one of self-sufficiency instead of one of apathy. Part of the reason Washington is "afraid of their own people" is because we have ripped the veil from the power-filled positions and we're questioning not only the positions themselves, but what type of person it is that becomes possessed to take such an office (as President...
...normally a pleasant three-hour trip, but there was a lonely feeling the morning I left Damascus, cabled Brelis. Once beyond the city limits, I began running into military convoys, also headed for Beirut.

Despite its success in fighting many of mankind's worst maladies, medical science has made virtually no headway against a family of viruses that infects about 80% of the world's adult population: herpes simplex type I, which causes cold sores and herpes keratitis (an eye infection responsible for 18,000 cases of blindness in the U.S. every year) and type II, which produces sores in the genital area, and is under suspicion as one cause of cervical cancer...
...they have examined for antiviral properties 29 varieties of red algae common to northern California waters. Each variety was washed in distilled water, dried, boiled and homogenized in a blender. A 1 % solution of the resulting liquid extract was applied to human cells that were then inoculated with type I or type II herpes. The solution proved 99% effective in stopping viral multiplication. When the solution was applied to cells already infected with herpes, the spread of the virus was reduced by 50%. While the extract has not yet been tested on other types of herpes-like viruses that...

These days, the machine that secretaries envy is the IBM Selectric, a "single-element" typewriter that replaces the familiar semicircular bank of type keys with a removable bouncing ball of type.* The machine is symbolic of the extraordinary bounce of IBM itself, which has dominated the office typing business for the 15 years since the Selectric was introduced. This year IBM will hold an estimated 65% of the $600 million office electric typewriter market. The company's hegemony has drawn the attention of the Federal...
