...other criticism against Davis stressed the racial implications of his articles. There was a reason for this, and even in retrospect a good one. It has to do with statements Davis had made linking genetics and heredity. Davis, who teaches Nat Sci 37, "Evolution, Genetics and Society," only goes halfway in a theory of biological determinism: He says there is no way to statistically prove difference in intelligence. But he has made pronouncements to the effect that the separation of gene pools of the races down through the years may cause genetic differences...
...project pioneered by Newman in 1972. It now provides such services as round-the-clock legal-aid units and high school instruction in legal basics. Street law, which begins its fifth semester next week, offers five subjects-including criminal and corrections law-at six prisons, youth detention centers and halfway houses. Impressed by the Georgetown program, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration has provided $320,000 in federal grants for similar courses by other universities. Beginning this month, street-law programs will be offered in two California prisons, seven in the state of Washington and four in Colorado...

When Ford Campaign Chairman Rogers Morton said he was unable to reach the troubled Mississippi delegation by telephone, CBS's Dan Rather briskly escorted him across the floor. Morton was halfway there before he thought better of it and escaped. While the Mississippi delegation caucused in a CBS trailer, Mike Wallace was locked outside, but three young CBS pages inside-sons of Commentator Moyers, Correspondent Roger Mudd and Producer Perry Wolff-took in every word. They were deprived of a major...
...hood and jumped in, put a cautious foot on the gas, and felt the engine pull itself to life. He began to back out, concentration on the rear view mirror and not looking at the window where the voice said, "Odd hate to hafta git mah gun." He was halfway down the drive before his uncle, an ex-Marine sharpshooter and lifetime member of the NRA (at a cost of $200) began blasting away with his ninehundred dollar 25-06 deer rifle. A tire went fwooo, and Bell clunked along on three wheels. Christ, he's serious, thought Bell...
