Thomas's $112,000 grant was proscripted when NIH found he had failed to file a Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement (MUA) with the Institutes. Scientists conducting recombinant DNA research are required to file the written agreement and NIH must give them the go-ahead, before they can proceed with their research...
...giving the little man a voice on political issues. Thus the idea of allowing lavish spending by big corporations to sway the outcome of a referendum would probably make the likes of Robert LaFollette twist in their graves. But last week the Supreme Court gave corporations the go-ahead to spend whatever they please. The court's reason?

Meanwhile, the administration has given the go-ahead to studying the possibility of building a 600-900 megawatt breeder, much bigger than Clinch River. The plans include the requisite "non-proliferation study" and a Department of Energy spokesman says the government is "deferring large-scale commitment until all the facts are in," but one can't help wondering what changed Carter's attitude towards breeder technology in the space of a year. As on other energy issues, the concessions by the administration have been substantial. It seems the relationship between branches has come full circle in recent years. The President...
