...children, ultimately eight in all, including blacks and Koreans. He once heard an affluent black doctor at an adoption agency reject a child because he was "too black." Snapped Jones: "Well, I'll take him then." The mayor appointed him the first full-time director of the Indianapolis human rights commission. Jones became increasingly embittered at the racism he encountered. His wife was spat upon while walking with their black child, and when one of his Korean children was killed in a car accident, he later said, he could find white undertaker to bury...
THIS SOMEWHAT paranoid view of the world is not irrelevant to what is wrong with the Moynihan school of thought about international politics. By now, after we've witnessed some of the missteps and inconsistencies of the Carter administration's human rights policies, it should be evident that the attempt to translate values into policy must involve a careful process. It should mean distinguishing between values, deciding which ones we want to emphasize, and then examining how each might be rendered concrete in ways that promise lasting effects. This, in turn, requires a sensitivity to other peoples, and the specificity...
...contamination of the atmosphere by Four Corners Power Plant is so pervasive that smoke from the plant was the only evidence of current human activity on earth visible from the moon during the Apollo space program...
...professor Bennie R. Ware, associate professor of Chemistry and Veronica Vaida, assistant professor of Chemistry, rightly point out that the high-dose NCI animal study does not conclusively prove that low levels of EDB can cause cancer in humans. But the scientific community is currently debating he validity of extrapolating animal carcinogencity data to humans. This debate is far from resolved, and many scientists feel that the discovery of potent cancer-causing ability in animals must be taken as strong presumptive evidence for a human cancer threat. That's the reason why NCI did its animal study in the first...

Their decision disregarded NCI's conclusion that its findings indicate a potential threat to human health...
