...conditions but are quite useless in other situations. The genetics of human intelligence is not scientifically well enough established to be used as a political weapon; the propagation of intelligence through generations obeys sociological, psychological and biological laws which override completely the possibility of political predictions based on the partial knowledge given by I.Q. measurements...

In Oregon, eleven mills, producing 5% of America's plywood, announced that they face complete or partial shutdowns this month...

...system, particularly the tendency of the heart to grow "lazy" in space. Thus after bedrest, which is intended to simulate zero gravity, the adaptability of the nurses' circulatory system was tested by placing a bag tightly around the lower body and pumping the air out. This created a partial vacuum, which tends to concentrate the blood in the lower part of the body and to create the effects of gravity on astronauts who have just returned to earth.

Partial exceptions with some assembly operations, like Polaroid and the hi-fi industries, began similarly as research units and only later generated jobs, and, like Polaroid, have a tendency to locate expansion facilities outside Cambridge. The City Council panders to these and other intensive profit, low job-generating (like new high-rise hotel...
