Dolores L. Mitchell, Governor Michael S. Dukakis's cabinet co-ordinator, said last week, "There is no question that on most procedural votes, Barney can be considered as a safe leadership vote. He would be the first to admit that if you want to be effective you have to back the leadership on partisan votes except on those matters where he has clearly staked out a position." When liberals unsuccessfully tried to make membership on the House Rules Committee subject to caucus vote instead of under McGee's discretion, Frank voted with the leadership. He indirectly supported Mitchell's statement...
Dawkins has gotten much too wrapped up in his theories of genetic determinism to admit that cultural and environmental influences also affect behavior. This seems to be stylish these days. Scientists like E. O. Wilson, the author of Sociobiology, and William Shockley, newly elected member of the Academy of Sciences, and their biological explanations are gaining increased respectability...
...Harvard had not yet adopted equal access admissions, nor had Radcliffe changed the scholarship policies that for so long have kept the income brackets of Radcliffe students higher than those of Harvard's. Both those changes may have the effects Trilling seeks in her suggestion that only the Colleges admit students "solely on the strength of a students's intention to be a wage-earner." Trilling's suggestion seems somewhat ill-considered, as it would--and she admits this--inevitably reduce the number of women at Harvard, even though it would insure that those who did go here would make...
...molecule). The amino acids could thus be assembled into the appropriate protein without the aid of a ribosome. Contemporary tRNA molecules, unaided, cannot form a stable linkage with messenger RNA; a ribosome is needed to hold them in place until their amino acids are assembled. While the scientists admit that their concept is "fairly speculative," they note that it can be tested in the laboratory if researchers can construct some five-nucleotide tRNA molecules. If the theory is correct, these engineered molecules, placed in a test tube with amino acids and messenger RNA, should synthesize proteins...
McKinney said "the smaller admit group reflects a greater conservatism" on the part of the departmental admission committees rather than a decline in applicant quality...
