...Life of Brian [Sept. 17] refers to "adults who have not had their basic premises offended, and therefore have not examined them, in too long."

The last time a similar situation occurred--when Cambridge city officials temporarily blocked recombinant DNA experiments because of potential dangers to the community--town-gown tensions were rubbed raw. "It's not a local problem at this point, but it could be in the future," says Robin Schmidt, vice...
