...campaign against Jewish "nationalism" was only dormant. Throughout the thaw, a steady trickle of anti-Semitic propaganda reminded Russian Jews that official policy had only moderated, not changed. Such traditional Jewish practices as circumcision, bar mitzvah, and the baking of unleavened bread drew sneering allusions in the Soviet press to "fanatics of the Talmud," who practice "cruelty rituals." In August Kiev's humorous monthly Perets (Pepper) lumped Jews, Nazis and Konrad Adenauer together in a grotesque front-page cartoon that placed the swastika inside the Star of David. Then came a harsher reminder. To jail last month, for sentences...
...speed reminiscent of the particles they study. Having only in the last dozen years dug out the mechanics of viral cell invasion, researchers now know of fascinating variations in the process. Occasionally and inexplicably; they have learned, viral nucleic-acid particles enter cells and "go underground," lying there dormant or masked for years. Or the nascent "pro-virus" molecules of new nucleic acid may play possum in this way. Virologists are having to coin words such as virion, capsid and capsomere to describe viral particles and their parts...
Where these infectious molecules might come from and what might trigger them into activity at unpredictable times are still mysteries. Perhaps they are inherited, and lie dormant for decades. This would go far to explain why some cancers, though not hereditary in the ordinary sense, tend to run in families. Or they may come from virus infections of the mother during pregnancy: if they cross the placental barrier, they could lodge in the fetus, which has little or no antibody-forming mechanism to reject them...

His successor, President Fred Fagg Jr., was popular, but he resigned in discouragement after U.S.C. stood still in the postwar decade that transformed most universities. U.S.C, was so dormant that in 1955, when it grandly announced a drive for $75 million, the plan never really got off the ground...
