...lymphoid cells. They have the genetically built-in ability to identify other cells as "self" (part of the same body) or "not self" (invaders to be destroyed). In the presence of "self" cells the lymphoid cells remain passive, but if they detect foreign material, they manufacture antibodies to contain or attack the invader. These antibodies are in the form of gamma globulin particles. Some remain on the surface of the lymphoid cells and circulate with them; others, free-floating, circulate in the blood stream. Both kinds adhere to cells in the foreign tissues of such organs as the transplanted heart...
...into effect next year. "It would help stiffen the resistance of a little guy who might otherwise cave in," says William E. Dunn, executive director of the A.G.C. Labor Secretary George Shultz has been meeting since May with Harvard Economist John Dunlop and other experts to explore ways to contain construction costs. Shultz hopes to induce contractors and construction unions to use the Federal Mediation Service frequently to smooth over their disputes before they erupt into costly strikes.

"Before you came," Marcos told Nixon, "we dreaded the possibility that the U.S. was going to abandon Asia completely, or on the other extreme that there might again be the policy of colonial dominance over the Asian countries." Philippine leaders have managed to contain the dissident Huks with government troops, and the country is geographically safe from anything but a massive foreign invasion by sea. As he did elsewhere, President Nixon urged on Marcos the notion of collective security for the Far East-measures bolstered, but not actively...
...earth-centered system of celestial bodies. Kepler's ideas supported the Copernican theory that the sun is the true center of man's universe. Its implications were profound. If the earth is only one of several planets orbiting the sun, could it be the only one to contain life? Newton, Huygens and Voltaire all speculated on the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the solar system, even on the sun itself. The 18th century astronomer, Johann Elert Bode, author of Bode's Law (each planet is roughly twice as far from the sun as the previous...
