Indeed, he has even refused to place on the Senate calendar a number of Carter proposals-including instant voter registration and the creation of a consumer protection agency-that he senses his colleagues do not want. Byrd has cautioned Carter against pressing for early adoption of the Panama Canal treaty, and he even publicly bawled out Vice President Walter Mondale for a minor breach of parliamentary courtesy while Mondale was presiding over the Senate...

By mixing DNA from viruses, bacteria, and animals, molecular biologists can create novel hybrid organisms. Fear about the creation and accidental release of dangerous new forms of viruses and bacteria has been one focus of the recombinant DNA debate...
