...American," he wrote last week. Safire also fumed about the "Fundamentalist intolerance" he found at the Dallas convention, and declared that "no President . . .has done more to marshal the political clout of these evangelicals than Ronald Reagan-to his historic discredit." William F. Buckley Jr., however, in a column last week, defended the President. Wrote Buckley: "Reagan is certainly attempting to attract the vote of those who believe they are being unfairly persecuted by the secularists, and why shouldn...
Five months ago, R. Foster Winans, a writer for the Wall Street Journal's influential stock market column, "Heard on the Street," was fired after admitting to federal investigators that he had taken improper advantage of his position. Winans confirmed that he had leaked information about upcoming column items to associates, who then profited by buying or selling stocks based on advance knowledge of the stories' likely impact on prices. At the time, Winans, 36, described his role in the scheme as "stupid" and "wrong." Last week the Justice Department contended that what he did was also criminal...
When the story of Winans' improprieties broke in March, co-workers suggested that he might have been the dupe of sophisticated traders and investment analysts whom he interviewed for his column.

On an ABC news program, This Week with David Brinkley, Ferraro said her husband had relented because "people were jumping to the most outrageous conclusions on a lot of things." Columnist Will, an interviewer on the program, asked if the disclosures...
...Philadelphia Fertility Institute is testing a technique that employs the glass-column race track and Sephadex, a gelatinous powder used to filter impurities from insulin and other hormones. In this case, the X-bearing sperm are the first to reach the bottom of the test tube, perhaps because they are slightly heavier than Y sperm. Results in eleven pregnancies are encouraging: seven girls and one set of male-female twins. Nonetheless, a larger number of pregnancies will be needed before the method is proven...
