...Allan Hobson, professor of Psychiatry at the Medical School, says the psychological importance of dreaming has been overplayed. Hobson, who directs the Laboratory of Neurophysiology at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center in Boston, says dreaming is more physiological than psychological. He refutes much of Freud's reasoning: "Freud says if you didn't have emotional conflicts you wouldn't dream--this is ridiculous. I would be much less likely to regard dreams as psychological. Freud would describe a man who couldn't remember his dreams as repressing hidden guilt feelings. I would say that he simply couldn't remember...
Gilbert and Sanger vastly advanced the new technology of recombinant DNA, as it has become known, with their different methods for determining the sequence of nucleotides, or chemical "letters," that carry the message in the long-chained DNA molecules. Gilbert's technique, devised with his Harvard colleague Allan Maxam, is essentially chemical: it uses reagents, or chemical markers, to test for different nucleotides along the molecule. Sanger's is more biological: it employs an enzyme to copy individual "letters" and thus identify them...
...inquiry that "might" have turned up facts barring citizenship-participation in atrocities, for example. That is not enough, insists Fedorenko's lawyer, Brian Gildea of New Haven, Conn. The Government has to show that such an investigation definitely "would" have led to the discovery of damning facts.

With quarterback Joe Auteri calling the plays and a massive offensive line calling the shots, running backs Scott "find him a nickname" Schereschewsky and Rick Gallito ran at will through the Lowell defense en route to six points...
Such monetarists as the University of Rochester's Karl Brunner and Carnegie-Mellon's Allan Meltzer, who believe that excessive money growth is the main cause of inflation, argue that the Reserve Board is still paying too much attention to interest rates and has reneged on its promise to level off the expansion of money. And many economists in Europe, where confidence in the dollar is crucial, join in the critique. Grumbles Kurt Richebacher, the chief economist of West Germany's Dresdner Bank: "The volatility of the U.S. money supply is not just awful...
