Says Gynecologist Howard Jones, who, together with his wife, Endocrinologist Georgeanna Seegar Jones, founded the first American in-vitro program at Norfolk in 1978: "It turns out that if you get the sperm to the egg quickly, most often you inhibit the process." According to Jones, the pioneers of IVF made so many wrong assumptions that "the birth of Louise Brown now seems like a fortunate coincidence...

That the Sullivan Principles and increased investment in companies that operate in South Africa only serve to strengthen apartheid should be made clear. No, Mr. Howe, I personally am not satisfied with the meagre three pages that President Bok devotes to the issue in his last book and with the few constructive suggestions he has made in his open letters.
