Norris' views contrast sharply with those expressed by Meyer last month. The HMC president said the move--expected to occur gradually between 1994 and 1999--could ultimately provide a financial reward to the University...
What they found was a biochemical equivalent of a debilitating stutter: a defective gene that includes too many copies of one crucial subsection of the DNA molecule. The more extra copies, the more severe the symptoms and the sooner they occur. In the past two years, three other conditions, including a form of muscular dystrophy, have been traced to such hereditary hiccups. With the Huntington's gene in hand, researchers can now develop more accurate diagnostic tests. They may also prove better able to predict at what age a person will succumb to the disease...
...most sweeping proposals since World War II, and they show how devastating the job loss can be. Nationwide, the closings include 31 major military installations as well as the curtailment of 134 others -- a plan that is eventually expected to save more than $3 billion a year.

This simultaneous representation of a crude reality and a burning vision is Johnson's final unresolved gift to the reader...
