...distinction somewhere along the way. Rather he is to be congratulated, if not for embodying the mediocrity he so persuasively apotheosizes, at least for pointing out the possibility of salvation to those callow freshmen destined to follow him, by warning them of the ineluctable moral degradation which will infect them should they get an A. It's not too late for them to flunk out and secure their status as good guys. Let not the technocratic brutes of the university power structure captiously accuse Epps of paranois, juvenile rantings, or hubris in reverse. In the august company of other devotees...
...weather was perfect," says Wyne Englehardt, who grows corn and wheat on a 4,000-acre farm near Oakley, Kans. Many farmers in Southern states where leaf disease broke out in 1970 planted blight-resistant seeds this year. Thus the spores could not accumulate and be blown North to infect fields there...
There is other evidence that the beginning of genetic surgery is not far off. Dr. Sol Spiegelman of Columbia University has synthesized an artificial virus that is indistinguishable from its natural model and has used it to infect bacteria and produce new viruses. He and his colleagues have little doubt that they will also eventually create "friendly" viruses and use them to cure disease rather than cause it?by using the viruses to stimulate the production of the chemical products upon which health and life itself depend...
Unable to reproduce themselves, viruses invade normal cells and use their hosts' chemical mechanisms to produce more viruses. Eventually, the infected cell ruptures, releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells. Dr. Howard Temin of the University of Wisconsin has shown that some tumor viruses behave differently. They reverse the normal order of genetic transmission, and with the aid of a recently discovered enzyme, use their RNA messenger molecules to produce DNA, the double-helix master molecule. In a way not yet understood, this triggers the cellular genetic machinery to order cell division, causing the cancerous growth that...
...bloody martyrdom in a contemporary Pilate's court-a barbaric red, white and blue rally sponsored by WUSA. Geraldine's symbolic vulnerability propels her to suicide, while Rheinhardt's apathy naturally puts him back on the road to nowhere. It is no secret that virulent ideas infect the U.S. at both extremes of the political spectrum. The Newmans have chosen to level their attack on the right flank; they should have confined their battle to the hustings. To paraphrase a hoary Hollywood adage, messages ought to be sent by Western Union, not fictitious radio stations...
