Though his crowds were generally large and friendly, they displayed little of the frenzied excitement that certifies they will turn out at the polls. The main lingering residue of the ill-advised Playboy interview was ridicule, perpetuated in a bumper-sticker revision of Barry Goldwater's 1964 campaign theme: IN HIS HEART, HE KNOWS YOUR WIFE. Volunteers, with no overriding issue to turn them on and a candidate who frequently turns them off, were hard to come by everywhere. There is some confusion between the relatively conservative Carter who speaks of love, healing and balanced budgets and the angry...

He described Carter as a "great fella in spring training, but now that the league has started, he's in a slump."

In an interview in Science Magazine Sinsheimer cites the possibility that, by endowing lower organisms with the DNA of upper organisms, a "sort of betrayal of state secrets at the molecular level may occur." These new organisms may be endowed with dangerous, possibly lethal characteristics that scientists may not be able to combat...
