In the "group of 77," the OAU and the United Nations, Third World leaders may test Moynihan's patience with denunciations of Western imperialism, interventionism, exploitationism and hegemonism. But at the same time, they have almost all come to accept, and begin to conform to, the realities of interdependence--in their dealings with Western-supported world banking organizations, with Western-based multinationals, and in bilateral deals with democratic powers.

Lear describes the controversy that pitted Harvard scientists and administrators against the Cambridge City Council as originating with Harvard's proposal for a new special containment laboratory which would conform to the new NIH guidelines -- the same lab scheduled to open here in a few days. At a hostile and emotional City Council meeting, the scientists confronted the Cambridge community.
