...calls an "interim measure" is one thing. Resurrecting it as a basis for the Rowny-Karpov talks is quite another. Both literally and figuratively, Reagan has changed the name of the game. He has rechristened the negotiations START, for Strategic Arms Reduction Talks, as a somewhat artificial way to distinguish his Administration's goals from those of its predecessor. The Soviets profess to share the desire for reductions; they have even added the word to the Russian designation of the talks ("Our first concession," says Zamyatin with a wry smile). But they object strenuously to the sorts of reductions...
Feldene and Oraflex both work like aspirin in that they block the release of certain prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that contribute to pain and swelling. Perhaps in an effort to distinguish its product from Pfizer's, Lilly makes the additional claim that Oraflex may actually slow the progression of the disease. The claim is based on preliminary research showing that Oraflex inhibits the migration of macrophages, a type of white blood cell, to the inflamed joint. Macrophages ordinarily defend the body against foreign invaders, but in some forms of arthritis they appear to attack the body, destroying bone...
Seeing how confused things were when men couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality, man had to evolve next to the mythical stage, which ran from about 10,000 B.C. to 1000 B.C. Here we're seeing mythology, and the birth of serious Atmas Projects, life-enhancing or death-denying activities. We see agriculture as well as organized murder in the form of wars. Around this point in the book the reader begins to see how potentially powerful trans-personal psychology is as a tool for understanding history. Viewing the common good for fascinating explanations of behavior that is inconceivable...
Poor Hendrik (yes, a terrible sympathy for him does creep in). He cannot even distinguish between acting on a stage and making appearances for the party at public functions. Both are, after all, performances, to be relished for the gratifying attention that is focused on him. Many actors have had fun and won admiration by playing bad actors. Few have dared what Brandauer accomplishes: showing us a good actor responding to the same neurotic drive for the center of the stage, the immortalizing role. His is a great performance, nothing less...
...antiquarian and deeply sexist note. I might say all of these examples deal with women. I used to think that women were more likely to distinguish between the office and the home because they may have reflected more on how their father's career in the olden days over-whelmed mother and children. Thus I confess that I regret at least one feature of the widespread professionalization among women at Harvard. Women are now apparently just as likely as men to disregard the autonomy of the home. Of course, just as many examples can be given of the same long...
