...Democrats' tattered majority will be a meager bulwark against a Republican Administration and a Republican-controlled Senate that probably will be intent on dismantling major elements of the social legislation passed during the Democrats' nearly half-century of dominance in both the House and Senate. In addition, the Democratic majority has turned more conservative. Most of the Republican newcomers are on their party's right wing, and most of the Democrats who survived did so only by shifting during the campaign away from the Big Government liberalism that was clearly in disfavor on Election Day. Indeed...
...Genentech itself states in its prospectus, the stock involves a high degree of risk. It is also likely to have a very high price-to-earnings ratio. The offering price is expected to be $25 to $30 per share, even though Genentech earned a meager 1? per share during the first half of 1980 for its private backers.

Only international loans could have produced a first-rate show on this absorbing subject...
...parliament's child and Banisadr's brother." With that modest assessment of his qualifications, Mohammed Ali Raja'i last week accepted his election as Iran's Prime Minister. Raja'i, as Winston Churchill said about another man, has every reason to be modest. His meager government experience was limited to a ten-month stint as Minister of Education, a post in which he mainly presided over the closing of schools and universities in the name of "Islamization." President Abolhassan Banisadr, who is constitutionally responsible for nominating the Prime Minister, considered Raja'i headstrong...
