Nineteen seventy-five was a year that left few heroes intact or untarnished. Many of the most interesting figures--Patty Hearst, Jimmy Hoffa, and Howard Hughes--remained largely out of view. It was a catastrophic year for the best and the brightest, as JFK and Doris Kearns emerged with blotted copybooks, though for different reasons. Attempts to create new heroes failed miserably, despite heroic efforts in the cases of Ruben "Hurricane" Carter and Joey "Kid Blast" Gallo. And some shady characters weathered the year better than might be expected. Idi Amin, Isabel Peron, Indira Gandhi, and Stephen S.J. Hall...
Though Dunlop's proposed Construction Industry Collective Bargaining Committee might well curb inflationary wage settlements, Reagan opposes the overall measure because of the picketing provisions. Howard ("Bo") Callaway, the President's campaign manager, has warned that signing the bill would hurt him "in every one of the 50 states." Ford is expected to veto the bill. Dunlop might then resign...
Instead, they turned to the research of Nobel Prizewinners Howard Temin and David Baltimore (TIME, July 20, 1970), who had discovered an enzyme, or chemical catalyst, capable of reversing the normal genetic process in which DNA orders the production of "messenger" molecule RNA. Their enzyme permits RNA to manufacture the master molecule DNA. The Harvard team broke down rabbit hemoglobin and isolated its RNA. They then mixed this RNA with the Temin-Baltimore enzyme in a rich nutrient broth. They were thus able to trick the RNA into making the DNA from which it itself had been produced...
Staying Power. The report, prepared by Howard R. Bowen, former president of California's Claremont Graduate School, and W. John Minter, an educational consultant, was based on a survey of 100 private colleges from 1969 into early 1975.

Although about one-fourth of those surveyed are on shaky financial ground, the total assets of the 100 schools grew by 26%, while their Liabilities were rising by 18%. Income from private gifts went up 34%; government grants showed a 65% increase...
Nesson, now a friendly and somewhat shy professor of Law, is best known today for his defense of Daniel Ellsberg '52 in the Pentagon Papers trial of 1971 and 1972, in which Ellsberg's case was dismissed because of the burglary of Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office by E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy...
