...native Kumasi, married to Ghanaians engaging in things like medicine and building contracting. Omar Rahman '79, from Dacca, Bangladesh, says: "I feel closer to people here than at home--but I'm not at home here either. I guess I'm somewhere in between. Rahman, whose mother is a biochemist with a Ph.D. from Yale and father holds an M.S. as an engineer from lowa, grew up speaking four languages (Bengali, Hindi, Urdu and English)--although the most technical discussions were reserved for English. His school, like that of every elite student I talked to, made a practise of sending...
This is the chilling conclusion of a symposium in the November issue of Harvard Magazine. In it, five arms-control experts judge that some nuclear wars are likely to occur before this century's end.

Political Scientist George Rathjens, formerly a special assistant to the director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency...

Researchers took contaminated butter clams and distilled the poison from them through a costly process. According to sources close to Church's panel, the CIA used saxitoxin in suicide pills for its own agents (U2 Pilot Francis Gary Powers had one, but chose to pass it up) and had it on hand to eliminate troublesome guard dogs when breaking into embassies...
