At perhaps 25,000 ft. over this city of mosques and markets, an Israeli jet, easily visible to the eye, explodes in a tiny flash and a puff of whitish smoke. Seconds later, a dull thump is heard as it crashes to the ground. The fighter plane was the victim of a "Soviet SAM," as Damascenes call their wonder weapon. The successes of the Soviet missiles are a major reason why the almost 900,000 citizens of Damascus seem relatively relaxed and unworried, even though...
...Johnson support a bit farther. He brought Sargent Shriver along, hoping that Shriver's warmer relations with L.B.J. might help ease the chill of the meeting.

Inside the cord are nerve cells and main nerve tracts like a telephone installer's spaghetti wire. Although smaller nerves in the extremities may regenerate after injury and partial restoration of function is possible if the cord is not completely severed, there is virtually no precedent of rejoining and restoring function to a completely severed spinal cord in man. Dr. Murray offered a simple explanation of previous failure and his apparent...
