After the 1968 campaign, Manshell, already the publisher of The Public Interest -the intellectual journal edited by Irving Kristol-decided to branch out into the field of foreign policy. Manshell wanted to found the strongest possible organ he could, one which would have an impact on the actual shaping of policy, and which would change the course of government thinking. As he puts it, "I don't think that anybody has a monopoly on wisdom, certainly not Washington. I'm interested in making the people who agree with me influential in Washington...
PEOPLE do not go to the opera to see good theatre, any more than they go to baseball games for the organ music. Operas performed in this country tend to be done in languages which neither the singers nor the audience understand, mainly to spare everyone the agony of an evening of insipid plot and badly worded dialogue.

...even be possible to use the body's immunological mechanism, which now helps to protect it against other diseases, to combat cancer. Some researchers note that organ transplant recipients, who take large doses of drugs to suppress their immune reactions and prevent the rejection of foreign tissue, may develop cancer. Also, the immune system often fails to respond to many cancer cells, although they have unique antigens that should alert the body to their presence. Accordingly, doctors have begun exploring ways of beefing up the body's defenses and immunizing man against cancer in the same way that...
That self-awareness resides in the brain, the organ about which scientists have the most to learn. To Physiologist Charles Sherrington, the brain's 10 billion nerve cells were like "an enchanted loom" with "millions of flashing shuttles." For some functions, M.I.T. Professor Hans-Lukas Teuber explains, brain cells are pre-programmed with "enormous specificity of configuration, chemistry and connection." Some are sensitive only to vertical lines, others only to horizontal or oblique ones. "Each of these little creatures does his thing," Teuber says...
...might create a caste of subservient workers, as in 1984, or a breed of super-warriors out of a "genetics race" between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. An even more hideous nightmare would be the "clonal farm," where anyone could keep a deep-frozen identical twin on hand for organ transplants...
