Smilgis came to TIME in 1974 as an editorial assistant in the Nation section. The next year she left the magazine for SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, where she did her best to parlay a political-science degree earned at the University of $ California, Berkeley, into the skills required to cover baseball and soccer. She began a three-year writing stint at PEOPLE magazine in 1977, where she both interviewed celebrities and braved the disco and drug dens of New York City for articles. In 1980 she became TIME's show-business correspondent in Los Angeles, then worked there for PEOPLE...
...future, education, not medicine, may well be the single most important weapon in stemming the spread of AIDS. Educational campaigns directed at homosexuals, urging them to limit their number of sex partners and adopt "safe sex" practices, have already paid off. A study conducted at the University of California, Berkeley has shown, for example, that the rate of new AIDS infections among gay men in San Francisco fell from an 18% increase each year between 1982 and 1984 to only about...
...nation's college campuses, where sex tends to be impulsive. "You look for signs, blisters, physical manifestations," says Abby, 19, who has dated college men. "But if somebody doesn't look as if they have a disease, you don't use condoms."

Students admit hearing about AIDS daily, but to most of them it is simply not a personal problem. Though herpes is still a campus concern, condoms are generally considered...
Earlier this month Chinese students began meeting on campuses ranging from Harvard to Berkeley to draft a two-page letter that was eventually signed by students from dozens of schools across the U.S. The letter, though phrased in polite language, expressed strong disapproval of the ouster of Communist Party Chief Hu Yaobang, a prime mover in China's liberalization movement. The students warned that the expulsion from the Communist Party of prominent intellectuals associated with the reform movement was not "conducive to building a system of democracy. We fear the reoccurrence of the Cultural Revolution...
...measure this change, the biologists -- Allan Wilson, currently on sabbatical from the University of California, Berkeley; Rebecca Cann, now of the University of Hawaii; and Mark Stoneking, at Berkeley -- examined mtDNA from 147 individuals representing five broad geographic regions. The scientists analyzed the samples by mixing them with restriction enzymes, proteins that cut strands of DNA at specific sites. After comparing the resulting fragments, the scientists used a computer to analyze the differences between the mtDNA samples and construct a "family" tree. Those differences were so small that they could be explained by assuming the existence of one ancestral mtDNA...
