...come from the ranks of the old outlawed organization. Says Erlebach: "You don't expect us to create a Communist party from Salvation Army members, do you?" The appearance of the new Communist party poses an interlocking dilemma for the government of Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger. It can hardly suppress the National Democrats without also taking legal action against the Communists. Yet any move against the new Communist party will run the risk of unduly provoking the Soviets. At the same time, West German inaction toward the National Democrats will only provide the Soviets with another excuse to charge that...
...harder for the West Germans at home to keep their own political house in order. One quandary for Bonn is the existence of the far-rightist National Democrat Party, which now attracts some 9% of the West German electorate. For months the government has been contemplating legal action to suppress the N.D.P. But now that the Soviets have attacked it, West German political leaders are reluctant to take any action that might appear a concession to Soviet demands.

Still, McNamara cannot suppress the virtue or vice of his efficiency altogether. He is too coldly crisp when he ticks off his punch-card proofs-one, two, three-that the U.S. possesses "assured-destruction forces."

Nothing gives him more evident satisfaction than having pruned logistics expenses by $14 billion in five years through his "planning-programming-budgeting system."

Since they blocked off the production of disease-fighting antibodies indiscriminately, said London's Sir Peter Medawar, they left the transplant patient easy prey to infectious crises caused by the commonest microbes that healthy people carry around all the time...
Different Shapes. The target of all medications that suppress organ rejections is what the experts call "the transplant antigens," protein molecules that are too small to be seen even with the electron microscope. Apparently they sit on the outside of the body's cells, ready to trigger an antibody reaction and rejection phenomenon if the cells are transplanted, as part of a kidney or heart, into another person...
