Although gerontologists acknowledge the interplay of heredity and environment, they tend to fall into camps in explaining how aging works. Wear-and-tear theorists hold that living itself is fundamentally dangerous. The same breath that gives and sustains human life produces oxygen radicals, unstable compounds that when combined with just about anything, have toxic effects on cells. Add to that the weakening over time of the immune system, which leads the body's fight against disease, and decline is inevitable. Biologists are now experimenting on rats and rhesus monkeys to see if restricting the intake of calories (while maintaining healthy...
...Dole seemed set to surprise folks by picking his longtime antagonist Jack Kemp as a running mate, we realized that the convention package being prepared by Stephen Koepp, Priscilla Painton and their Nation team was becoming the most fascinating political story of the year. It embodied all the marvelous interplay between politics and personality that has been TIME's franchise for 73 years. If the presidential race is destined to tighten (and I suspect it is), this could do it, and it will help clarify the very real choice voters face in November. America is sometimes infected by a cynical...
...seems to thaw out in her husband's presence, and there is sweetness in their silent campaign interplay. Coming off the campaign plane two weeks ago in Birmingham, Alabama, she grabbed his arm and made him gaze for a moment at the spectacular red sunset on the horizon.

Dole, the good Midwesterner, is allergic to public displays of affection--except from his Elizabeth. They seem to share a secret code of gestures: Elizabeth pats him on the lower back...
...essay as if I was offering a firm answer. What I was presenting was a way of searching for an answer. For this, to my mind, was the major flaw in Rev. Peter Gomes' formulations: he merely asserts an answer or solution---ex cathedra--without showing us the interplay of moral and operational steps. In Professor Gomes' view, it ought to be self-evident that the time has arrived (more than one century) for lifting the moral burden of blame and responsibility for several centuries of cruel violations of Blacks' humanity...
...form of a formal Harvard memorialization of White Harvard sons who fought under the flag of the Confederacy to sustain American slavocracy--which is to say, to sustain tht violation of Blacks' humanity--should not commence in our era. And, pointing to the indispensible centrality of the interplay of moral and operational steps to Christian forgiveness, I argued further that if such a forgiveness process should evere commence, it must be preceded by viable evidence of a redeeming process executed by White Southerners in particular and White America in general...
