...pleased the Faculty Council refused the Gay Students Association's ill-considered request that it investigate and reprimand Mr. Edward Pattullo for his published views on homosexuality. It was a disservice to the cause of free speech at this great institution for the GSA to claim that Mr. Pattullo's official role as directory of the Center for Behavioral Sciences constituted a constraint, de jure, on his freedom of speech. The GSA has only one legitimate recourse against Mr. Pattullo's views on homosexuality--to debate them, but not to prevent them. I do not myself share Mr. Pattullo...

He says that the Reagan Administration's goal is to "develop an infrastructure, even if it's just with a few plants...
SUMEX, say proponents like Dr. Edward Shortliffe, who holds both an M.D. and a Ph.D. in medical information sciences from Stanford, is the product of a new kind of programming that imitates a physician's thought processes. In contrast to electronic libraries (computers that are little more than sophisticated adding machines or memory banks) the SUMEX program works with "uncertainty" factors. These yield recommendations to physicians that avoid simplistic black-and-white terms in favor of various shades of gray. The program is designed to take into account all the available evidence that might either buttress or call into...
