Thompson does not differ radically in philosophy from most of the other major political figures in the state. His fellow Republicans, Congressmen Louis Wyman and James Cleveland, and Senator Norris Cotton, are all hard-line conservatives. Senator Thomas McIntire, a Henry Jackson Democrat, is the most progressive of the state's political leaders...
Procedures and costs differ from hospital to hospital. The male-to-female operation, which costs from $3,000 to $5,000, is by far the easier and more satisfactory. After amputation of the penis and testicles, an artificial vagina is created, using scrotal or penile tissue or skin grafts from the thigh or hip. Because the penile tissue is still sensitive, male-to-female transexuals may experience orgasm, though of course pregnancy is impossible...
Theoretical Leap. Many researchers feel that memories are stored and recalled by a combination of macromolecules or large molecules that probably differ considerably from one individual to another. Thus they reject the notion of some science-fiction writers that memory molecules-and thereby memories-may one day be transferred from one brain to another. "The immune response is a learned reaction," says Rockefeller University's Edelman, again citing the parallel between memory and immunology. "There is no Marcel Proust for immunology. I doubt that there's one for the neurosciences...
...Nixon realize but not report a capital gain on the sale of 23 acres of his San Clemente property in 1970? The White House has admitted that the President's financial advisers differ on this point. Coopers & Lybrand, the firm called in recently to audit NIXon's accounts, figured that he had a capital gain of $117,370.

Blech made some admittedly arbitrary valuations of the 5.9 acres of property and the grand house that Nixon retained...
...finances, his friendships, his correspondence-none of which produced any evidence of misconduct. At his confirmation hearings, Witness Ford came across as a banal speaker, but he also impressed his questioners with his openness, candor and competence in the glare of sudden attention. More, he did not hesitate to differ with Nixon's approach on several important matters. He urged the White House to produce all documents that would be necessary to clear the President. When asked what he would do if, like Prosecutor Cox, he had been ordered to submit to a "compromise" that would cut off further...
