...that these new laws have failed to provide the cure for the sort of racial discrimination that, as statistics reveal, still plagues the death penalty? For one thing, such racial discrimination is present not only in sentencing decisions, but also in the earlier stages of the criminal justice process Moreover, appellate review regardless of the percentage of death sentences overturned, does nothing to redress the imbalance of treatment by race...
...problem effectively scuttled the plan to lift SPAS out of the cargo bay and rotate it slowly in space at the end of the arm. While SPAS simulated Solar Max's spin, McCandless was supposed to attach himself to it with a specially designed pin. Unable to cure the arm's ailment, however, the astronauts could do no more than practice the maneuver on a nonrotating satellite. When McCandless gunned the jets on his MMU, the pin held firmly in place, and a pleased Mission Control insisted that the test demonstrated the feasibility of capturing Solar...
...Children with SCID lack specialized white blood cells called Tcells, which help defend the body against viruses and other invaders. T-cells are ordinarily produced in an immature form in the bone marrow and come to maturity in the thymus (hence the T). The only cure for SCID is a transplant of healthy marrow, a bloodlike fluid found in large bones. But such transplants are difficult, since donated marrow must be carefully matched to the white-cell type of the recipient, far more complex than simply matching A, B or O blood types...

The College now does a better job of plugging seniors into set slots; it has not yet examined whether shaping freshmen, sophomores, and juniors differently is in order...
...CURE FOR CANCER is the popular dream of how biological researches benefit from and both books finish with a look at the incredible progress made in the last years by applying genetic tools to studying cancer. The growing understanding of how cancer starts on the genetic level may soon lead to new and more effective treatments. Such speculations bring out what is probably the most frightening thing about these books and about DNA research--the possibility of changing genes to eliminate hereditary disease and, by implication, extend our control almost as far as life and death...
