...overlooked, Harvard Professor Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream, popped the same question while interviewing Carter in August for the Ladies' Home Journal and three other women's magazines. Though Playboy's piece was not yet out, she says she had heard about its most memorable lines and asked Carter: "Are you feeling lust now?" The candidate, who has on occasion been accused of waffling, wiggling and wavering, wiggled and wavered for a bit and then said he "didn't seem to know...
Triple Crown. Lipscomb, 56. learned of his award when his students burst into his cluttered office to congratulate him. He was inspired to do the work that led to his Nobel, he recalls, when as a graduate student at the California Institute of Technology, he heard his professor, Linus Pauling-who has since won the Nobel chemistry and peace prizes-explain how boron compounds were bound together chemically. Intrigued by what seemed an incomplete explanation, he used Pauling's own techniques to study the compounds further. He discovered that boranes, the complex chemicals that combine boron and hydrogen molecules...
Last week Avery Fisher Hall was reopened after a $6.4 million, five-month crash reconstruction job. Said Fisher: "I hope they like it, because I haven't enough money to build another." No worry.

He is the one candidate who addresses himself to the structure of American society, and how it might be reformed. He talks of poverty, not simply welfare; reduction of the nuclear arms stockpile, not limits on production and technology; imposing controls on the amount of resources...
...recruiting and accepting more socio-economically disadvantaged students into medical schools can be made on moral and utilitarian grounds. It is simply wrong to discriminate against people based on their social backgrounds. And society would benefit from admitting more of the rural poor since and coal miners' kids have heard the cry for a different kind of medical care. As John Mills, president of the national fund for medical education, wrote in his 1971 report to the directors...
