Carter's anti-inflation and full-employment programs will fail because they are geared to private corporate-profit interests rather than immediate social concerns, he said...
Students. quick to challenge injustice in college, fail to use their analytic talents later, and "having donned their 'Brooks Brothers' and 'Brooks Sisters' three-piece suits don't give a second thought to the still persistent injustices," he said...
...attempts to obtain information fail, the ACSR recommended, in its report of January 1979, that the Corporation initiate what it termed "information resolutions," noting that requests for information by universities are especially appropriate because "their primary purposes revolve around education, learning, and the dissemination of knowledge." It distinguished "information" from "action" resolutions, and said the latter should be used even more sparsely...
...four years we arrested thoughtful consideration of what we ought to be doing in the world while we rooted out the facts of these repellent intrigues and devised means to prevent them from recurring. We learned during this national catharsis that there is no Fail-Safe system to guarantee that truth will out. So it is the most natural thing in the world that the U.S. sensitivity to truth-or the lack of it-in the presidency is about as finely tuned as any national instinct. For the man in the White House, there is no escape from the facts...
Still, discoveries almost amounted to biochemical wizardry. Why, for instance, did drugs control disordered thought and hallucinations in some schizophrenics, yet fail abysmally in others? To unravel such puzzles, researchers turned increasingly to the brain, composed of tens of billions of nerve cells called neurons. Passing electrical impulses from one part of the brain to another, these elongated, finger-like cells communicate with one another across junctions or gaps-synapses-by the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. As these chemical broad jumpers leap across a synapse, carrying their message, they attach themselves to the neighboring cell, triggering a fresh electrical...
