...pure art for art's sake" approach. In "First Flowering. The Best of the Harvard Advocate," editor Edward Smoley describes the gradual withdrawal from issues of university-wide relevance that post-World War II board members effected. "The Advocate editors were becoming a literary clique, the magazine their house organ. They showed little interest in student affairs," he writes. During the 60s and 70s, the emphasis shifted towards more artwork and a slicker presentation. James Atlas '72, an ex-Advocate president and a current editor of the Atlantic, remembers trying to improve circulation by putting a young woman with bare...
...Editor Thomas Pryor literally had a wall constructed between the business and editorial areas to discourage advertising salesmen from trying to influence coverage of their clients. "If you print something worthwhile, you get respected," says Pryor, 70, editor since 1959. "If you don't, you become a house organ." In fact, while both papers yearn to be taken seriously as tough, independent journalistic enterprises (and both have shown grit and knowledge in covering events like the ouster in July of embattled United Artists Chairman David Begelman), Daily Variety, founded in 1933, can more justly claim a tradition of shrewd...

Or that grating voice obscured a sincerity hard to find in rock today. But that's what the cliche to which he bound himself--"continued anger," as he recently...
...exploring the nature of the disease. The type of immunosuppression found in AIDS patients appears to be unique, affecting white blood cells called T lymphocytes (T for thymus, which plays a role in their development). Certain of these cells help defend the body against viruses, foreign tissue (like organ transplants) and the growth of cancer cells. There are several types, including helper T cells, which promote the production of antibodies against foreign invaders, and suppressor T cells, which reduce antibody output. Healthy individuals have twice as many helpers as suppressors. In AIDS victims, the ratio is reversed; helper cells...
...transplant may become the more nearly routine operation doctors once envisioned. Developed by the Swiss firm Sandoz Ltd., cyclosporine is a natural fungal compound that somehow blocks the production of those white cells that cause rejection but not those that fight infection. Says Dr. Barry Kahan, head of the organ-transplant division of the University of Texas Medical School at Houston and a colleague of Cooley's: "This is the secret ingredient, the thing that unlocks the door to transplants...
