Ungar's experiments are similar. Using shock, he conditions rats to shun the darkness they normally prefer, then makes a broth of their brains. This he injects into the abdominal cavities of mice, which seem to react with a parallel unnatural aversion to the dark. Moreover, the more broth Ungar injects, the faster the mice seem to learn this fear. His theory: the memory message (that darkness should be avoided) is encoded by the rats' DNA-RNA mechanism into an amino-acid chain called a peptide, a small protein that Ungar managed to isolate and then synthesize. His name...
...which Godard has called "the oppressed track" in the cinema of Nixon Paramount-serve as a force of equal importance as images in dialectical analysis, through linking facts and context. Except in a few direct interviews Solanas maintains a tension between images and sounds such that comprehension develops along parallel and contradictory lines of struggling ideas.

Would sitting quietly and giving him the finger be an adequate expression of our revulsion and rage? In many of us, representatives of current American policy in Indochina, the Third World and in our own backyard arouse no less fury, anguish and despair than...
...past two years have seen Harvard's failure to establish a disciplinary body that is respected by students, Faculty and Administration. The current state of disarray that characterizes the CRR makes it singularly unacceptable for the task of upholding ideals of freedom, when it itself has violated so many parallel freedoms of judicial process. If the disciplinary process upon which the Administration seems ready to embark is to follow the scenarios of the past two springs it will only further undermine faith in the University...
BACK TO PHONICS. Fortunately, the others can benefit from a parallel revival of phonics. In a program offered by New Dimensions in Education Inc., for instance, each letter is given a zany personality that makes use of onomatopoeia. Sample sentence: "When umbrella-faced Miss U stands between Mr. H's horrible hair and Mr. M's munching mouth, things begin to H.U.M...
