This "official" policy, as voiced by track coach William McCurdy and football coach Joe Restic in the registraion issue of The Crimson, is one of "participation...
Mixed Results. With that kind of buildup, a letdown was almost inevitable. "Impossible expectations have been raised," Physiological Psychologist Neal Miller of Rockefeller University, a leader in feedback research, told a New York symposium last week. Indeed, actual gains have been modest. Researchers have helped some incontinent patients to gain control of their urination and defecation through biofeedback. Among other researchers, Dr. John Basmajian, a professor of anatomy and rehabilitation medicine at Emory University, reports success in eliminating foot drop - difficulty in raising the foot while walking - though efforts to extend the technique to cerebral palsy victims have failed...
Essentially, the Harvard team was able to "put down" the second strand. Several scientists who worked on the 1972 teams expressed surprise yesterday that the Harvard group had decided to announce its findings with a press release, intimating that such an action may senseationalize the actual significance of the research...
...simplicity of the technique the Harvard team has developed for synthesizing an entire strand of DNA from RNA now means that scientists may be able to focus more on studying the actual process of how genes regulate protein assembly in higher organisms. Thus, while the Harvard research will not carry mankind into a new era of artificially reproduced beings, it certainly is an important step towards an untimate understanding of human genetics...
...Powers's major characters want to return to a less confusing society, where an omnipotent God sees even little sparrows fall and curates always look up to their pastors.
