Jewett said he was worried that the decrease in scholarship applications might indicate a partial failure in his attempt to recruit qualified candidates from low income groups...
Largely by administering trust funds, including burgeoning pension funds, banks have great and growing stock powers. In communications, for example, the report cited Federal Communications Commission records of July 1972 to show that the Chase Manhattan Bank had full or partial control over more than 14% of the stock of the Columbia Broadcasting System and 4.5% of the stock of RCA, the parent of the National Broadcasting Co.; Bankers Trust Co. voted more than 10% of the stock of the American Broadcasting Co. and just under 10% of the stock of Metromedia. Banks have been so deeply into broadcasting that...
PARKINSON'S DISEASE, which afflicts over a million Americans, could once be relieved only by severing certain nerve pathways deep in the cerebrum. While the operation relieved the tremors and rigidity of the disease, patients could suffer partial paralysis and loss of speech. Now, most Parkinson's victims can be relieved by a drug known as levodihydroxyphenylalanine, or L-dopa. First used successfully by George Cotzias of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, L-dopa provides a classic example of molecular chemistry at work. Normal movement depends in large part upon the action of dopamine, one of the brain...
Much of the caution stems from a recognition that something momentous happened last year: after a long period of almost splendid isolation, the U.S. economy joined the rest of the world. As a result, the nation had to cope with events over which it had only partial control...
Spotty bad weather that kept drivers home in some parts of the nation is a partial explanation, but the lower death rates seem to be due mostly to the energy crisis, which is making motorists drive more slowly and less frequently. N.S.C. statisticians now express hope that if shortages and higher gasoline prices reduce driving by 10%, and if new speed limits of 50 or 55 m.p.h. are widely obeyed, as many as 14,000 of the 56,000 U.S. deaths caused annually by auto accidents can be avoided...
