...Israeli reaction to Prince Fahd's call for a holy war was mild. Proclaimed a foreign ministry spokesman: "We are not shocked and we are not worried." The Israelis, in fact, seemed far more preoccupied with the latest internal squabble of Begin's faltering government. This time the Prime Minister was at odds with his lawkish Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon, a hero of the 1973 October War, who las made no secret of his desire to be Defense Minister. Begin has held that post since the resignation of Ezer Weizman last May, but he has only been able...

When London's East End was pummeled nightly by bombs, the King and Queen toured blitzed neighborhoods.

Unfortunately, anything produced by mouse cells is foreign to humans and likely to trigger an immune reaction. So Stanford's Drs. Lennart Olsson and Henry Kaplan set out to create human hybridomas. They took spleen cells from victims of Hodgkin's disease, a form of cancer in which the spleen is usually removed during treatment. The cells had already been exposed to the chemical dinitrochlorobenzene and were making antibodies. These cells were then fused with cancerous bone-marrow cells, yielding hybrid cells that could churn out the antibody...
