...some extent, a junkyard is a junkyard no matter where it is located. Yet, like almost everything in town, the Cantabrigian junkyard has some special features that distinguish it from the plain-old-ordinary-run-of-the-mill variety. Unlike the neatly piled, sprawling yard of rusted cars and buses depicted in the movie Nashville, or the mountainous heaps of uncategorized wrecks in the swamps east of Baltimore, or the medium-sized backyard and field lots of suburban Boston, the Cambridge yard is severely limited in size. Since the average junkyard here is no larger than a half-acre...
Hellman says that the concern of basic scientists with the disease will persist because of the distinct nature of the cancer cell. Efforts to distinguish the malignant cell by what was presumed would be its faster rate of replication or by identification of foreign proteins on the cell have proved difficult, he says. Such studies involve virologists (studying viruses), pathologists, and molecular biologists. Other research in the last ten years has suggested that a cancer could be linked to a failure of the body's immune system; when asked about vogues in research, Hellman says, "My prejudice...
Even the Soviets were impressed, conceding that the Kissinger speech had had some impact in one of its aims: dividing the Third World. Clearly, the U.S. wanted to distinguish the goals and needs of the truly poor nations from those of suddenly prosperous oil-producing states. There were at least half a dozen critical references to the OPEC cartel in the text. For example, Moynihan reminded the U.N. delegates that world economic stability requires sustained growth in the industrial countries, which, in turn, need "reliable supplies of energy, raw materials and other products at a fair price." The U.S. then...
...church's opposition to homosexuality stems from five biblical condemnations of homosexual acts.* But by attempting to distinguish between what is divinely inspired and what is an expression of the cultural assumptions of the biblical era, a few theologians are challenging old interpretations of these texts. For example, the mysterious sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, which have been assumed to be sodomy, are now thought by some scholars to be pride and inhospitality to strangers...
...because plastics resist natural processes of decay almost indefinitely. To make the material go away when it is thrown away, scientists in Germany have developed a type of plastic that disintegrates when exposed to the ultraviolet rays in sunlight. But it has a hitch: the sun does not distinguish between unopened plastic containers and discards...
