...significant portion of contemporary scientific study, including genetics, immunology, and cancer-related experimentation, produces the low-level material. Currently, Harvard and other state waste producers ship the radioactive by-product to the state of Washington...
Medical researchers at Harvard and other Massachusetts universities are growing increasingly concerned about legal limits imposed on their work. Much of their attention has recently been focused on a referendum which passed two weeks ago enacting restrictions on the storage of radioactive waste--the by-product of a large portion of research in immunology and biogenetics...
University scientists have said the limits will restrict crucial research, much of which generates radioactive waste as a by-product. They vowed last week to join with higher education administrators to pressure the Legislative to amend the law but are also mapping contingency plans in case their lobbying fails...
...provision would also hamper medical research, which often creates such wastes as a by-product. While the wording actually exempts for biomedical research, scientists insist that this is a lark, because these researchers would have to set up their own disposal sites--a highly expensive, if not economically impossible proposition. Legislators are effectively handling this issue, and citizens should allow then a free hand to continue, and vote...
Detroit's paucity of new models this fall is a by-product of the marathon race U.S. manufacturers are running to catch up with Japanese and European companies in developing small cars. High interest rates have also hurt foreign car sales, but those manufacturers continue to make inroads. About one of every three new cars sold in the U.S. is now a foreign model, and in California, Oregon and Washington imports have 50% of the market. To keep the situation from becoming worse, American automakers about two years ago abandoned the traditional fall introduction and now rush their...
