...root meaning "to wander about, looking for something," occurred in 1970, when he put together a short, casual talk on the phenomenon of inflammation and what it might represent as a biological process. He delivered it at a symposium held at Upjohn Co.'s Brook Lodge in Michigan. A member of the audience passed a copy of the speech to Dr. Franz Joseph Ingelfinger, then the editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. Ingelfinger had already roiled the academic waters by warning potential contributors that medical research should be made compatible with good, clear writing. The graceful, straightforward...
...over some part of university life. Last year 26% of Harvard's total budget (or $79 million) came from the Federal Government. Also: 50% of M.I.T.'s ($125 million), 46% of Princeton's ($66 million), 4.1% of Oberlin's ($1 million), and 17% ($81 million) of the University of Michigan's.

There are perhaps only two conspicuous examples of old-fashioned "press-lording" left. The political venom in William Loeb's Manchester Union Leader skews New Hampshire's politics, and even the state's closely watched presidential primary. In Michigan, John P. McGoff fired two editors in his small right-wing chain when they refused to give front-page play to a couple of vicious anti-Carter stories. Last week the government of South Africa admitted that it made available $11.5 million from a secret slush fund in 1974 during McGoff s unsuccessful attempt to buy the Washington...
