...these plans, however, must await the outcome of the tax and budget pro gram, which for the moment is quite revolutionary enough. Reagan is proposing the deepest cuts in expenditures ever sought by a President. He is asking the nation to take a bold gamble that major tax cuts will spur savings, investment and noninflationary growth, rather than merely cause deficits to rise and create still more inflation (see ECONOMY & BUSINESS). In selling this economic adventure to the nation, he will need all his proven skill as an orator. His ability may never be more tested than it will...

Meanwhile, resting virtually unseen in a library vault was the Yale coin collection's most famous gold piece, a 26-gram doubloon struck in 1787 by New York Goldsmith Ephraim Brasher...
...feces of infected canines. The virus can remain infectious for months, and can be tracked long distances on the soles of shoes or by other means.

Five to ten days after exposure, the dogs may become listless, then vomit and develop bloody diarrhea; they also lose their appetite. If the animal becomes dehydrated, it may die unless treated...
...write songs and sing them." Nonetheless, inside that denim-jacketed heart, behind those covertly smiling eyes and that radical pug nose, one senses big ambition.

Then came Jackrabbit Slim, the 1979 follow-up, a helping of string and chorus-sweetened love songs, and the critics scooped their superlatives back again...
Other researchers are concentrating on unraveling IF's molecular structure. Caltech scientists are working with a "sequencing" machine that needs as little as ten picomoles (less than a millionth of a gram) of pure IF to determine the composition and sequence of the IF molecule's amino acid chain, which consists of about 150 links. Explains Molecular Geneticist Leroy Hood: "It's like having pearls of different colors on a string and clipping them off one by one and identifying the color of each...
