...state legislatures, from church pulpits to Army barracks, women's lives are profoundly changing, and with them, the traditional relationships between the sexes. Few women are unaffected, few are thinking as they did ten years?or even a couple of years?ago. America has not entirely repealed the Code of Hammurabi (woman as male property), but enough U.S. women have so deliberately taken possession of their lives that the event is spiritually equivalent to the discovery of a new continent. Says Critic Elizabeth Janeway: "The sky above us lifts, the light pours in. No maps exist for tins enlarged world...

Although assigned no discernible duties, they were with Kennedy in Nassau when he met Macmillan to discuss cancellation of the Skybolt missile program, at Yosemite Park when he plugged conservation measures, at Palm Beach when he was vacationing.

Five years before the triumph of the Harvard group, Organic Chemist Har Gobind Khorana, a Nobel laureate now working at M.I.T., had synthesized a yeast gene, the simplest gene yet made. Already aware of the sequence of the 77 "code letters," or nucleotides, in the DNA of the gene, Khorana painstakingly "assembled" the letters one at a tune in the proper order to produce a synthetic unit. The rabbit gene is at least eight times as large, containing about 650 nucleotides strung together in a sequence that scientists have not yet completely determined. Clearly the Harvard group could not follow...
Amid a rising tide of nationalist sentiment, a committee of Canada's House of Commons is expected this week to end work on Bill C-58, which at first glance looks like a relatively minor amendment to the tax code. Yet the measure, introduced by Pierre Elliott Trudeau's Liberal government last April and virtually assured of passage, could profoundly alter the shape of Canada's magazine industry...
