EACH YEAR the concept of outside grows more important. The professor, that pedant, may be outside. The graduate student section man, perhaps stuffier still, who wants to grow up to be that professor--he's an outsider. That fellow who studies Greek classics for what seems like 12 hours a day in October and November, and the thick-armed house football jock who says, half in jest, that everyone in SDS should be shot--they're outsiders. The SDSer who talks at you for hours without a smile when you wish he would go away--he becomes an outsider. Your...
Increased Harvests. Nonetheless, there is ample evidence that such a revolution is changing not only India but much of the world. In Pakistan (pop. approximately 135 million), where an ambitious birth control program-using such slogans as "Grow More Food, Breed Fewer Children"-has reduced the birth rate from 3.3% to 2.5%, self-sufficiency in food will be achieved this year. Vastly increased grain harvests have been gathered in the Philippines, Ceylon, Turkey and Mexico. In South Vietnam, the IR8 rice strain (TIME, June 14) has been so successful that the Viet Cong have sought to discredit it by telling...
...should be passive and let events take their course, it will implicitly choose a certain kind of environment--one, perhaps, in which all Cambridge slowly becomes like Harvard and M.I.T. until we find that we are no longer an urban university, but one which has allowed there to grow up around itself a kind of inner-city suburb with a single life style, carried on by professors, students, psychiatrists and the executives of electronics and consulting firms. Perhaps that is the environment we wish to have, but we cannot pretend that we may remain neutral on the issue...
Dependent Generals. Ribonucleic and deoxyribonucleic acid are the fundamental chemicals that determine the nature of living things-whether they will grow normally or abnormally, whether they will reproduce their kind or perish. The two nucleic acids are as dependent on their loyal enzymes as a general on his junior officers. The bovine ribonuclease that has been synthesized will have no immediate value as a treatment for any of the ills of animals or man. But its synthesis shows that man is coming closer to his goal of emulating nature at the most basic, biochemical level...
...fund managers, 1968 proved the general rule that the bigger they are, the more difficult they find it to grow through investment. "It's been a tough year," says Grady Green, vice president of the $351 million Channing Growth Fund. Channing ranked high in 1967, when it grew 47%; last year, with a growth of 2.6%, it was 296th. Like the Manhattan Fund and many other big funds, Channing was heavily invested in the more seasoned glamour stocks-Ling-Temco-Vought, Fairchild Camera, Polaroid-that declined during the stock slump before Lyndon Johnson's March 31 renunciation...
