...coldest in 30 years," says the New England Fuel Institute's Charle Burkhardt. Unfortunately, that help may be ending. Experts at the U.S. National Weather Service reckon that the odds are 4 to 3 that the nation's Northeastern quarter will be colder than normal through January. But for the Western half of the nation, above-normal temperatures are predicted-at the same odds...
...goals. TIME'S plan assumes that both the Israelis and the confrontation Arab states are, at long last, willing to end all hostile acts, including armed attack, economic boycotts and blockades; and that the antagonists are ready for a peace that would be followed by the beginning of normal, neighborly relations-trade, tourism, the exchange of diplomats. It assumes further that both sides will see the need for international guarantees, in some form, as a way of making sure that the onetime antagonists will abide by their pledges...
...match its outward appearance. There are, for example, people with a female XX chromosome makeup who display pronounced male sexual development. Wachtel discovered why. Analyzing the blood of these individuals, he found that their chromosomes apparently contained a hidden male factor-a variant of the same signal found in normal males. In the first few weeks after conception, when the embryo is still sexually neutral, the signal causes the development of testes, a source of male hormones. In the case of the XX males, however, the male factor, apparently consisting of a bit of genetic material-possibly no more than...
...genes between chromosomes while the sperm are being produced in the father's testes. In any case, the test has already been put to important clinical use. At New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, for example, a two-year-old child with an enlarged clitoris but a seemingly normal XX chromosome pattern was tested for H-Y antigen. The assay turned out positive, and subsequent surgery revealed the reason: she was a hermaphrodite, with dual sexual organs-an ovary on one side and a combination of ovary and testis on the other. The doctors promptly removed the ovotestis, thereby...
What pulled him up, ironically, was what set him down: Jaws. Nothing is so good for an actor's ego as a hit, and Dreyfuss's ego, which Jaws had punctured and which Papp had exploded, returned to its normal enormous size. He now calls Steven Spielberg, the director of Jaws, a genius, and admits that the movie was not the "dreck" he once thought...
