...timing of the research cutbacks especially irks graduate schools. The cuts came after universities had already signed contracts with professors and graduate researchers for the current school year. "You just can't tell a man to come to the university and then cut him off," protests Raymond E. Peck, a vice president of the University of Missouri. With commitments already made, the schools claim that they will have to dip into their own operating funds or endowments to keep many of the NSF projects going. The Berkeley mathematics department termed the NSF reductions "outrageous and inequitable," and issued...
Besides its ethnic and racial tensions, the precinct is also a hunting grounds for muggers, who roam its subways, tenements and littered alleyways. Compounding the problem are the hippies, who have taken over the East Village area. There are also scores of "plastic (artificial) hippies," who come only on weekends or during school vacations and then go back home...
Called the Mark 8A, McLaren's new car looks like its predecessor. "I think a lot of people were disappointed that we did not come up with something revolutionary," says McLaren, "but we never do anything completely different." Both cars, for example, have an airplane-type monocoque, or frameless chassis, to get maximum strength from minimum weight. Still, there are subtle yet important differences. While the Mark 6A weighed 1,520 Ibs., the new car weighs only 1,450 Ibs.-less than a Volkswagen. The weight-saving was mainly accomplished by completely eliminating the chassis behind the driver...
Actually, a fight was indeed coming, and vast changes. Luce used his publications wholeheartedly to support the Allied cause (if TIME and LIFE failed to sell the U.S. on the idea of material aid, he cabled his editors from Europe shortly after Hitler invaded Belgium, "it probably won't matter much what these estimable publications say in years to come"). He saw that World War II marked the end of an uncertain, isolationist period in U.S. life-he called it a shameful period-and realized that it also marked the beginning of global U.S. influence, which he welcomed...
Until now, the question whether Toxoplasma parasites could come from undercooked beef has been open, although transmission through pork and lamb has been established. Because the five students had not eaten the same food except on the night of the big lecture, Kean is confident that they picked up their parasites from the snack bar's hamburgers. For them, as for most victims, the illness was uncomfortable and not disabling. But Toxoplasma is like rubella in one respect: it wreaks its worst havoc on the unborn child, causing encephalitis, hydrocephalus, heart damage and hepatitis. Says Kean: "If this epidemic...
