...child ought to believe and live up to (in the way of standards, rock-bottom beliefs, a religious faith) but what is "best" for the child. Every effort is made to "understand" children, even infants under one: what is going on in their minds and how we might get "closer" to them, become more "empathetic" toward them, succeed in "helping" them along-through various "periods," "crises...
...Closer to U.S. A wealthy sheep rancher from western Victoria, Fraser has promised cutbacks in domestic programs and tax cuts for individuals and business incentives. He will also move to pull Canberra's foreign policy back onto its pre-Whitlam path. Fraser has criticized the Labor government's steps to improve ties with Communist and Third World countries "while neglecting friends and allies with whom we share political ideals and philosophies." That would forecast a return to Australia's traditionally close foreign policy relations with Britain...
Halberstam, 41, estimates he will tap 600 people before he is done. Aggressive and sometimes abrasive, he uses a technique he calls "bracketing, like they do in the artillery. You lob a shell over here, then one closer to the other side. Then you narrow in." The final product, which he works on between treks on the college lecture circuit, will also include an examination of radio, the computer industry, newspapers and magazines. Halberstam's conclusion: along with TV, they control information, and "information is power...
Scientists may never be able to emulate Faust's student, Wagner, and create a homunculus, or artificial man. But they seem to be moving steadily closer to the day when they will be able to reproduce the DNA molecule essential to life. Harvard University Biochemists Argiris Efstratiades, Fotis Kafatos, Thomas Maniatis and Allen Maxam report that they have copied a mammalian gene, a unit of the DNA molecule that transmits a specific inherited trait. Their creation: the gene that orders the production of hemoglobin-a blood component-in rabbits...
...believes that the artificial gene could be used to make rabbit hemoglobin. But his team is more interested in learning why the sequence of nucleotides in this gene works to order the production of hemoglobin in blood cells but not in other cells. That knowledge would bring scientists still closer to learning the secret of life...
