...universe, the galaxies are the breeding place of matter. Deep in their hearts new atoms appear, gathering together to form new stars or adding to the mass of old ones. Eventually the galaxy reaches a limit, breaks up and expels into space a clot of matter that forms the embryo of a young, growing galaxy. In accordance with some principle that McCrea does not claim to understand, new galaxies are born at the proper rate to fill the vacant spaces left by the general expansion of the universe...
...talk of curbing Peking's folly by hitting the Chinese before they are really strong enough to hit back. In Washington, a U.S. Congressman asked Secretary of State Dean Rusk why the U.S. had not "detonated that bomb for them"-in other words, blown up Peking's embryo nuclear establishment. Rusk replied: "We considered this but decided against it." In effect, such a decision, in all probability, would not be merely to take out a bomb or a plant, but to go to war with China-and perhaps ultimately with Russia...
...opossum was chosen because it is a unique animal. Born only twelve days after conception, it spends the next 60 to 70 days in its mother's pouch, firmly and continuously attached to her breast. During that period, it grows and behaves much as a human embryo in normal gestation. Marquardt researchers are already well acquainted with the opossum, having learned how to detach the tiny fetus from the mother's breast to feed it artificially. Mixing drugs with the food, the researchers should be able to observe firsthand their effects on a growing fetus...
...first independent military judiciary, will siphon much of his Ford Foundation money into model defender agencies in Boston, New Haven, Philadelphia and Washington-"grey area" cities with slum-bred legal problems. Matching funds will go to other cities and counties willing eventually to pay the full bill for embryo defender agencies. Since 90% of court-appointed lawyers are unskilled in criminal law, Project Defender will also support more law-school criminal courses and trial-training internships for recent law graduates. In a day of noncombatant office lawyers, says General Decker, "our biggest job is developing men who can handle themselves...
...Embryo eggheads are hard-boiled in the now widely copied "Carnegie Management Game," a grueling electronic exercise that often strains high-salaried executives who come back for refresher training. A measure of the competition is that Carnegie's 40 doctoral candidates come from the top 5% of U.S. college graduates, are expected to publish at least three papers before they get degrees. In the four-year-old Ford Foundation doctoral-dissertation competition, eight of the 26 awards have gone to Carnegie students. No other school has won more than...
