...would like to concentrate on a kind of experiment that is causing great concern and is restricted to quite special facilities: the so-called "shotgun" experiment with random fragments of DNA from animal cells. Two considerations seem pertinent. First, the probability that any fragment will contain a gene for a toxic product, or the genes of a tumor virus, is exceedingly low, though not zero. Second, evolutionary considerations provide an independent approach to the question. It seems exceedingly doubtful that our novel ability to introduce mammalian DNA into bacteria in the laboratory will create a truly novel class of organisms...
...merely moved to a new battleground -Thailand. Prime Minister Tanin Kraivixien now calls the long-smoldering (at least eleven years) insurgency by Communist guerrillas the gravest threat to Thailand's internal security. Long ignored by Bangkok, the increasingly bold Communist attacks have become a focus of concern in the 3½ months since the military's National Administrative Reform Council swept aside Thailand's wobbly democracy (TIME, Oct. 18). In their armed struggle against Tanin's military-backed government, Communist guerrillas have killed more than 90 soldiers and police since October; unofficial estimates go much higher...
Later, Laker became the first head of British United Airways, then the country's largest independent airline, but in 1965 resigned to start his own charter line. Laker Airways has grown into a prosperous concern with current net assets of $140 million. Although he is not one for spartan living himself -he buys a new Rolls-Royce every year and maintains a yacht in Majorca -Laker keeps his business operation lean. A staff of fewer than 20 works out of a modest ten-room block at London's Gatwick Airport, where the boss's own office measures...
...alternative lifestyles at Harvard (is it paranoia, or do I detect the silhouette of the infamous 1-1-2 plan lurking at the sidelines, waiting for its cue?). The timing of the Administration's actions--reading and exam period securely bolting, or so they think, the doors to student concern and participation--epitomizes the slimy, macchiavellian, fetid, underhanded, unscrupulous and most questionable manner in which the Administration has traditionally managed to impose its bureaucratic wet-dreams upon the lives of those most affected by its decisions. An encouraging sign is that concerned and enraged students are organizing, under the name...
Selzer is hardly the first M.D. to ruminate about the scalpel. Rabelais, Chekhov, William Carlos Williams, Celine, and more recently William Nolen have written moving accounts of their medical careers. But few have examined the surgical art with such fervor and concern. Some doctors deplore the body's limitations; Selzer celebrates them. "It is the flesh alone that counts," he begins. "In the recesses of the body I search for the philosopher's stone...
