...field when a sociologist tries to refute such a basic biological tenet as evolution and natural selection. For behavior patterns and their modification possibilities through learning are fixed in the genes of species, consequently modified but not eradicated in individual development. Just as ethologists are beginning to find that man has more instinct-caused behavior than we thought, Simon and Gagnon rush in the opposite direction with their absurd conclusions...
...Nixon Administration would like to prevent a crisis by finding a way to avoid invoking the amendment. It has managed to extend the deadline for ending aid by five days. General Velasco could release the U.S. from its duty by agreeing to a negotiated settlement, but he can hardly back down under U.S. pressure without destroying his own reputation. It was largely because President Belaúnde had failed to crack down on IPC, and thus defy the U.S., that Velasco was able to whip up popular support for his military takeover.

Often, between takes, he reached for the bottle of burbon, took a gulp, gargled with it and then swallowed it down: all without comment from him or anyone else. (The bourbon was cheap and awful; Prophetic Pictures' production budget is $2000 -- most of which goes for minimal salaries and prop rentals--so there is little room for extravagant extra expenses.) While Tommy worked, drank, worked, looked over his script, drank, no one spoke. Eric and Tim might say something about technical...
