...complex and depends for its function on a wide variety of highly specialized substances. Its main agents are cells called lymphocytes, which are produced by the so-called "stem cells" of the bone marrow, the mushy, reddish substance that manufactures blood components. Once formed, the lymphocytes develop into two distinct types of cells, each of which plays an important role in the immune response. Those that pass through the thymus-a small organ located just under the breastbone in children (it shrinks and virtually disappears by puberty)-become Tcells, the main agents of what immunologists call "cell-mediated immunity." They...
...that the legitimacy of RUS as a body politic does not rest upon its perception as "representative" by Radcliffe women, but upon its function in the larger community. That is to say, women at Harvard, whether their own individual experience verifies this classification or not, remain, until merger, a distinct group in the eys of University administrators.

The "nou-velle affaire Pétain," as the French were calling the caper, revived old political quarrels over the sensitive issue of national...
POPKIN'S DEFENSE presupposed that a clear distinction can be drawn between those who are scholars and those who are mere citizens. His argument is based on a corporatist vision of society, where different people play different roles, and have a correspondingly different legal status. The claims of reporters to a journalists' privilege are analogous in their assumption of a social division of labor which concentrates the investigative function in a distinct class. Popkin and other academics could be the brains of society, and reporters would be the eyes--leaving the rest of us to fight for the positions below...
