...clear that DuPont strongly believed that Republican economic policies promoting economic growth, prosperity and smaller bureaucracy can aid the inner-city poor. Unlike most conservative Republicans, he was willing to acknowledge the urgency of the concerns that form the base of Jackson's platform. If he was not committed to solving these problems, why would he go out on a limb to invite comparisons and cooperation with the most liberal of liberals, while appealing to the most conservative of audiences...
...unparalleled position to explain the difference between the two candidates. Yet our institutions are becoming so large and all-powerful--through the growth of private universities and the decline of two-paper towns--that Bok may rightly conclude that Harvard's interests are so diverse that no one candidate can be better than another. We can all hope for the day when Harvard, the Washington Post and other national institutions recognize their duty to speak to the issues...
...destructive capacity and technological hubris, Gilbert was a humbling reminder that man remains very much at the mercy of the elements.

The U.S. got a pass from Gilbert, but poorer, less fortunate neighbors took a hit they could scarcely afford. Next time the scariest weather story of a scary season could strike closer to home...
...human immune cells, many of the mice suddenly developed rapidly growing cancers, perhaps caused by a virus in the blood of some of the donors; mice injected with cells not exposed to this virus did not develop the tumors. The implications for cancer research could be enormous: the rapid growth -- in eight to 16 weeks -- would afford scientists a rare opportunity to track the emergence and spread of cancer. Said Mosier: "This is an extraordinary breakthrough. We may be able to dissect that tissue week by week to see what happens to these cells...
...sold more than 3 million PS/2 computers worldwide in the past 18 months, but the company is lagging behind its rivals in growth. While competitors are expected to sell 11.6 million machines this year, 26% more than in 1987, IBM's unit sales are likely to grow 18%. Even though minicomputers and mainframes account for the bulk of IBM's total revenues ($54.2 billion in 1987) and PCs for only 10%, the desktop market has become a high-prestige field of competition...
