Medical experts are concerned that the virus, usually seen only in swine, may be similar to the lethal virus that probably caused...
Gamma Guppy. Last week there were reports that the Government has worked out a mild compromise with Moscow. According to these accounts, the Soviets have decreased the microwave bombardment to pre-May levels-but they have not halted it, as the Government is still demanding.
