...motives. He says the director of NIH said in a guidelines meeting he wanted to get the revisions approved before the legislation went into effect. Many observers also question the data upon which the recent proposals are based. NIH cites a lessening of scientists' fears about the danger of recombinant DNA research; many scientists have testified at public hearings they believe they initially exaggerated the potential danger of recombinant DNA research. However, other scientists, including King, maintain that NIH is "weakening the guidelines without any scientific criteria whatsoever." He noted that the NIH data base has no risk assessment program...
OHIO (June 6). The Republican primary should signal whether James Rhodes, 68, who has been Governor longer than any of his predecessors (11% years), is losing his grip and is in danger of being unseated in November. Rhodes' primary opponent, House Minority Leader Charles Kurfess, 48, contends that the complacent Rhodes is "Ohio's biggest energy crisis."

And the nation as a whole is either at or nearing the danger point where a little bit less unemployment means a whole lot more inflation-which would hurt the jobless, retired people and even most of the employed and their families...
...amused when he labeled Dixie the Sahara of the Bozart. And his classic encyclopedia, The American Language, brilliantly traced the wellsprings of slang and ethnic argot. But in larger matters he was more naive than the booboisie. When real goose-steppers came along, Mencken failed to perceive the German danger and, as Fecher notes, "brushed off Nazi treatment of the Jews." His literary criticism was sometimes blind to contemporary talent: he thought Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath was "full of pink hooey" and found no more sense in Faulkner than in "the wop boob, Dante." He never understood...
