New Chemical Offers Hope In Arthritis
Washington AP a group of prostaglandins may offer hope for arthritis treatment through blocking enzymes from white blood cells.

Reds Speed Arms Supply To Egypt
At least six Soviet cargo ships have delivered jet fighters and other military hardware to Egypt and Syria within the last 1 days, according to Pentagon sources. The ships carried about 20 crated aircraft including MIG21s SU7 and helicopters, plus spare parts. Cargo was unloaded at Latakia in Syria and Alexandria in Egypt, with the Molodogvardsk masking its destination before anchoring at Alexandria on December 31. The United States says it closely monitors Soviet arms shipments to Arab states, notably Egypt.
