This does not mean that Harvard's junior professors will automatically be elevated to tenured posts--even if their work seems to warrant the promotion. But the switch, administrators and professors say, may mark the beginning of a critical transition in the tradition-bound Faculty of Arts and Sciences...
Federal regulators are bound to fight the defection in order to discourage other healthy S and Ls from attempting to follow suit. A mass desertion could bankrupt the FSLIC fund and saddle taxpayers with the expected $50 billion to $100 billion bill for rescuing the savings industry...

These so-called membrane-bound proteins are like plants themselves: antennae protrude from cell surfaces, anchors hold them in the membrane, and rootlike tentacles reach into the cell's interior. But the molecules resisted study...
