More unusual are some of America's great political families. The Roosevelts, of course (F.D.R. seven times, Wife Eleanor three times, Mother Sara Delano and Sons Jimmy and F.D.R. Jr.); the Tafts, William Howard and Sons Robert and Charles; the Henry Cabot Lodges, Sr. and Jr.; the Herbert Hoovers, Sr. and Jr.; the Robert Wagners, Sr. and Jr. And then there are the families whose illustrious names mix business and politics-three generations of Rockefellers, from old Millionaire John D. Sr. to New York's Governor Nelson; the Kennedys, from Joseph P. back in his 1935 Wall Street...
...other professors out of twenty-five polled by the CRIMSON extolled Roosevelt; the University listened and then supported Hoover 3-2 in the annual straw vote. Three weeks later the country went along with the professors. In post-election analysis, Arthur N.

If both ram and ewe have two such genes, all their lambs will have scrapie. If one animal has the genes but its mate has none, the "clear" genes will dominate, and the lambs will have no disease. Dr. Parry is still checking a theory that if both parent animals have a single scrapie...
...disrespect, or tolerance at best . . . Even though we don't want him to be the autocrat of the breakfast table, I think we might consider giving him at least a polite seat at the table." Earlier in the week, Adlai received a more noteworthy tribute from ex-Senator Herbert H. Lehman, who announced the creation of an Adlai E. Stevenson Foundation to provide scholarships for 60 Jewish Theological Seminary students. "I have received many honors," said Adlai at a fund-raising dinner that quickly tapped 24 well-heeled guests for $625,000 of a $1,500,000 goal...
