When the French deposed Morocco's Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Youssef in 1953, the rulers of adjoining Spanish Morocco could not control their gloating satisfaction. Posing as champions of the Arab world, they declared the deposition "illegal," welcomed Moroccan nationalists from the French zone, closed their eyes to guerrilla raids on the French zone from hideouts in the Rif Mountains. Theoretically, both Moroccos are one country under the Sultan, and Spain has always resented that she holds her zone only as a sort of sublet from the French. If it were not for those nasty French, the Spanish implied...
Last week the zone's disenchanted nationalists gave Spanish Morocco its first taste of terrorism in years: a bomb burst in a Tetuan cafe, another was hurled at a bus. Demonstrators shouting for "independence and unity" stormed through Arcila...
Suddenly, Spain began to talk more kindly of cooperation with France. With a faintly patronizing air, French Resident General André Louis Dubois drove over to the Spanish zone for a "courtesy" call on his Spanish counterpart, Lieut. General Rafael Garcia Valino. Dubois' main concern was to get Spanish cooperation in halting the Rif raids across the border. Garcia Valino seized the opportunity to announce Spain would introduce political reforms to institute "parallel evolution" in its zone. At week's end, Franco conferred long and late with his Cabinet, authorized a guarded statement promising that Spain would "follow...
Convinced that a "thread" somewhere in the human body linked vomiting with many types of illness, Dr. Borison and Columbia University's Dr. S. C. Wang determined, in 1953, the existence of a vomiting control center and a trigger zone in the brain stem. By removing the trigger zone from the brains of dogs and cats, Dr. Borison and his research staff have been able to prevent vomiting that ordinarily follows the injection of certain chemicals into the blood stream...
Researcher Borison is sure he has discovered an additional trigger zone somewhere "lower down" in the central nervous system, that sets off radiation-induced vomiting. By cutting certain nerves in the upper abdomen that lead to the control center, he is able to prevent vomiting from radiation. If he can discover the cause of radiation-induced vomiting, a way may be found to combat death from radiation sickness...
