The magic number is 64
Article Abstract:
The referendum on the British-Irish Agreement requires a 64% 'Yes' vote in Northern Ireland to be successful. The creation of an assembly will follow, elected by proportional representation with a first and deputy-first minister with equal powers. Both British and Irish communities are to be equalised, with a special Bill of Rights for individuals and national groupings in Northern Ireland.

The burden of proof: as British blood donations are banned by anxious countries, a team believes it may have found a simple test for vCJD
Article Abstract:
Swiss pharmaceutical research institute Serono Biotech has indicated that it may shortly make available a blood test for variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (vCJD). However, this test may not be used for routine testing of donated blood, especially as it may eventually be established that the infectious prions that cause vCJD are not present in human blood.
