...action. More rankling than any foreign policy issue is a division that has emerged between blacks and Jews about how far society should go in pushing "affirmative action" programs to place more minority people in job-training programs and professional schools. Blacks insist that affirmative action, which means, in effect, special consideration, is needed to help them overcome the handicaps imposed by centuries of discrimination in the U.S. Many Jewish organizations agree in principle-but several filed briefs in the celebrated Bakke and DeFunis cases, arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court must not permit racial quotas, a stand that blacks...

...MYTH? Though it has long been known that male sexual ability declines with age, doctors have never been sure of the reason. The most widely accepted explanation among scientists is that levels of the sex hormone testosterone drop after reaching a peak between ages 20 and 30, producing in effect a "male menopause." Now that theory has been challenged. In a study of 73 men, from 25 to 89 years old, Dr. S. Mitchell Harman and fellow researchers at the National Institute on Aging confirmed that there was decreasing sexual activity with advancing years but that levels of testosterone remained...
