...Ueno who surprises many--with her gentleness as well as her academic and scholarly prowess. Choquette describes her as "endearing," McKinsey as "poised and mature," and Peterson as the type of person who "goes out of her way to be polite and helpful." A living alarm clock who helped her roommate make it to House crew practice all through spring semester, this quiet studious soul is sure to carry her confident and insatiable inquistitiveness into whatever she endeavors...
Such prescriptions are likely to be even more controversial than the Surgeon General's insistence that the public be taught about condom use and other safe-sex techniques. Yet such radical proposals are directed precisely to where the danger is now greatest. The alarm over AIDS and its potential spread into the heterosexual population has served to warn the public of its virulence and concentrate government attention on research and prevention. But now it is important to calm the fears of those who are not at great risk and provide help and education to those...

Even the Iranians, whom the Americans considered a greater threat, often flew their jets within missile range of U.S. warships but would back off after...

At IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, scientists successfully duplicated the compound, analyzed its crystal structure and passed the information on to the company's labs in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., where their colleagues were able to make thin films of the substance literally overnight. At the University of California, Berkeley, a group that included Theoretical Physicist Marvin Cohen, who had been among those predicting superconductivity in the oxides two decades ago, reproduced...
