...from different organisms, regardless of how low or high they are on the evolutionary scale. Though the researchers added only one or two new genes to a bacterium's collection of thousands of genes, the creation of such hybrid molecules was a stunning feat. The accomplishment seemed to breach one of nature's more inviolable barriers. Even primates as closely related as gorilla and man are so different genetically that they cannot produce offspring. Thus it was not size alone that made King Kong and his ladylove a mismatch. The real species barrier is in the genes...
Though Flynt is hopeful about having his conviction reversed on appeal, he may be spending time in still other courtrooms. He faces obscenity charges in Cleveland; indictments for sodomy, bribery and disseminating material harmful to juveniles in Cincinnati; and a $10 million breach-of-contract suit from Hustler's former national newsstand distributor. Meanwhile, representatives of the Indianapolis vice squad were at the Cincinnati trial gathering inspiration for their own possible obscenity case against Flynt...
...Heartbreak Kid. But here Falk and Cassavetes seem at sea, and May's talent gets lost in all the surrounding craziness, much of which has been well documented.

...billing of Burger the epitome of egalitarianism, a felonious breach of etiquette or a simple gaffe? Most probably a gaffe, and as such it typified the confusion of what may turn out to be the most chaotic Inaugural since Andy Jackson's admirers tracked mud all over the White House in a frenzy to shake his hand...
...questions of the committee chairman concerning their alleged Communist Party affiliations. "I could answer your question," Ring Lardner told the committee, "but I'd hate myself in the morning." Since Communist Party membership was not illegal, the ten argued - with good reason - that such inquiries were in flagrant breach of the First Amendment. They stood, accordingly, on their rights, until it became clear that they did not have many. Trumbo, shrewd and charming, is the cornerstone of the film. When asked whether he would have behaved differently if he could have anticipated the consequences, he answers immediately...
