Chemical Hostility. Danielli and his collaborators, Joan Lorch and Kwang W. Jeon, worked with the amoeba's three major components: the nucleus (central control center), the cytoplasm (gel-like body matter) and the cell membrane (outer wall). In a typical experiment, they carefully removed the nucleus of one amoeba with a microprobe and sucked out most of the cell's cytoplasm with a tiny pipette. Then they inserted into the remaining cell membrane a nucleus and cytoplasm that had been similarly removed from other cells. In more than 70% of their attempts, the transplant produced a completely viable...
...that kind of money he wants lots of zeros behind the sales figures. Nothing could be harder than the sell for G.I. Joe with his own flamethrower; for Dune Buggy Wheelies ("Man, they're out of sight . . . get your friends up tight"); for seven bendable, flexible outer spacemen. For those sponsors, the action is in canned-laughter series or manic cartoon shows that are allowed up to 16 minutes of commercials per hourdouble the usual rate allowed by the National Association of Broadcasters Code.

The film we all saw at the show on Friday night was undoubtedly the worst ski movie I've ever seen, and as I can not think of even one redeeming aspect, I have no idea how anyone could sincerely recommend the movie, much less rave enthusiastically about...
DISARMAMENT: Though the U.N.'s Geneva Disarmament Committee has sponsored treaties on the peaceful uses of the seabed and outer space, the major milestones of arms control-the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963 and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1968-were initially worked out by the U.S. and the Soviets. The prospects for future arms control depend on initiatives by Washington and Moscow...
...problems demand still bolder action. He is especially worried about the steady flight of middle-class people from Detroit to the suburbs. "They are moving out at a rate of two yards a day, including weekends," he says. As a result, the center city is withering and the outer city is sprawling formlessly over Michigan's pleasant countryside. To order the growth by the year 2000, Doxiadis recommends a five-point program...
