...fact, sociobiologists believe, conflict?both in the family and with outsiders???is the essence of life. But they do not think that man is at the mercy of an irresistible aggressive instinct, as Lorenz (On Aggression) and Author Robert Ardrey (The Territorial Imperative) insisted in their popular books more than a decade ago. For sociobiologists the trick in becoming an evolutionary winner is to hit just the right level of aggression. Too little, and the organism may be muscled out by competitors. Too much, and it may die in battle without reproducing, or use up time and energy in fighting...
...local people did not even know who he was. He occupied no political office; his one term as Georgia's Governor had ended in January 1975, and state law kept him from running again. He was the typical outsider, and it was an axiom of politics that outsiders???particularly those from the South?went nowhere nationally...
Indeed, the White House has a new strategy. Nixon wants to wait and see whether outsiders???businessmen, labor leaders, Congressmen?can build up enough support for an incomes policy to create the political consensus that would enable it to work. Provided that happens, he may be willing to accept it. The consensus could be built in next month's Senate hearings. While they are going on, Nixon will have a grace period of several months, during which the original anti-inflation plan may still work out as George Shultz hopes. If it appears during the hearings that Congress will approve...
...northern tip of Michigan's lower peninsula, which juts out between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The result was resorts like Charlevoix, Wequetonsing and Harbor Point. Often they are patterned after classic New England counterparts. They are family oriented, many elaborately unostentatious, and no effort is made to attract outsiders???though well-sponsored families from as far away as St. Louis do not count as outsiders. Two of the choicest spots in the area are closely held, closely clubby resorts, both of which make an expensive fetish of informality...
...weeks ago there were three important evening papers in Brooklyn,* two of them published by outsiders???Frank Ernest Gannett's Eagle, Paul Block's Standard Union. Last week there were two, both home-owned. Chain-Publisher Gannett a month ago had let the revered Eagle revert to the Hesters and Gunnisons, oldtime Brooklyn families from whom he had bought it. Last week Chain-Publisher Block sold his Standard Union to the up-&-coming Brooklyn daily Times with which it was immediately consolidated. The Times's publisher is Fremont Carson ("Monty") Peck, 33, who inherited the paper from his father...
