...holdover from the Ford Administration, McLucas resigned last week?as previously planned?from the post of FAA Administrator. As his successor, Jimmy Carter has nominated Langhorne M. Bond, 40, the secretary of the Illinois department of transportation. Bond will have the job of finding ways to develop the necessary devices and programs to reduce even further the hazards of flying. Then Bond will have to persuade and direct the nation's great airline companies to do what is best. It need not be that difficult an assignment: as a whole, the industry has been willing and often eager to spend...
Updating Darwin. Pieczenik believes there is further significance in the DNA patterns he discovered. In his view, the constraints suggest that a process of natural selection occurs at the molecular level long before organisms develop. If this is true, some additions will have to be made to the Darwinian theory that natural selection takes place only after the organism is formed and begins adapting to the world around it. That notion does not seem to bother Pieczenik. "What this means," he says, "is that the DNA sequences exist to protect themselves and their own information...

Carter should pledge to veto any such move. At the very moment when incalculably huge sums are needed to develop new sources of energy, the oil companies alone in U.S. industry have the muscle-money, know-how and organization-to do the job. And their own survival is at stake: unless they expand into new sources of energy, they will die with the depletion of the world...
Beyond the financial benefits, the deal was important to Bonn because it offered a potentially steady supply of reactor fuels to West Germany. The U.S. protested that two of the installations -the fuel-fabrication plant and the reprocessing plant-could be used by Brazil to develop its own nuclear weapons potential. Brazil has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty...
...extent to which faculty members train their students to fill some useful role. This is an elitist view of Harvard, of course; he concludes with a brief statement of the role of the private university, describing such institutions as training grounds for the future leaders of America. "Society cannot develop the leadership it needs," he writes, "unless its ablest young people have an opportunity to come together and learn under the best possible conditions and from the most accomplished scholars"--and he obviously doesn't foresee a time when that place will be the state University of Wisconsin...
