Biological and chemical warfare. LEONARD COLE has written "The Eleventh Plague, the Politics of Biological and Chemical Warfare."(W.H. Freeman and Company) In it, COLE tells about the extraordinary danger posed by biological and chemical weapons. He reveals, among other things, how the United States Army conducted tests for many years using both biological and chemical agents on Americans. In addition, COLE explores the current debate over what has been called "The Gulf War Syndrome." Some 80 thousand veterans have requested special Government medical examinations to determine if they are suffering from health problems related to their service in the war. COLE is a professor of Science and Public Policy at Rutgers University at Newark.
