...Biscayne formed a $252,800 package. The house at 516 Bay Lane has a mortgage of $100,000, payable in 25 years at 7½% interest. The second house, at 500 Bay Lane, has two mortgages totaling almost $80,000, each for ten years at 6%. The presidential compound formed by the two houses is flanked by Nixon's friends. The ubiquitous Rebozo owns a house adjacent to the President's property. The house next to Rebozo's was bought early this year by Robert Abplanalp, a strong Nixon supporter during the 1968 presidential campaign, who owns...
Plainly, the Arab leaders were playing politics with the mosque fire. It scarcely seemed to matter to them that an itinerant Australian Christian had confessed to setting the blaze. Nor did Arab leaders bother to note that Al Aqsa compound, far from being fireproof, had been the scene of blazes in 1949 and 1964, during Jordanian rule. What did matter was that, because millions of Arabs reflexively held Israel responsible for the latest fire, guerrilla organizations were strengthened in their hard-line anti-Israeli positions. Arab governments adopted correspondingly tough stances in an effort to match the extremists' thunder...
Mile High at first seems a normal Condon fancy. After growing up in turn-of-the-century New York with a good head for compound interest and the delicate ways in which money and muscle affect politics. Eddie West, the son of an Irish immigrant, brings about Prohibition singlehanded. His reason for doing so is that Prohibition will provide business opportunities. This is instantly understood by "the 18 greediest, the seven most hypocritical and the five wealthiest families in the country." to whom he goes for financing. It is also understood by an elderly and dignified Sicilian, who agrees that...
Esoteric Substances. In fact, six drug companies were represented at the Rhode Island conference. Some are already active in the field, testing such esoteric substances as paolin I, an antibacterial compound, and paolin II, an antiviral agent. Both were extracted from the juices of the abalone by Dr. Chen Pien Li at the National Institutes of Health. Similar extracts from quahaugs (thick-shelled clams) have been found to be active against some forms of cancer in mice. So far, chemicals from shellfish appear to have only moderate potency, but the sea offers an almost infinite variety of other potential sources...
...individual ingredient responsible for the activity. Even more difficult is the task of determining the chemical identity of the isolated substance. Once that is done, it must be tested in animals to find out whether its germ-killing powers outweigh whatever undesirable side effects it may have. If the compound proves both safe and effective enough to be tested in man, the laboratory chemists will face the task of either synthesizing it or using the natural product as the base for a semisynthetic drug, the technique that is used in producing cephalothin...
