...writer in Film Comment, however, argued very persuasively that while the violence in The Warriors was unquestionably a turn-on, the movie's limp, unsatisfying ending was more responsible for sending viewers away frustrated and combative, that in this case a little more violence in the form of a payoff might have eased the post-movie tension. Who knows? Perhaps--perhaps--we need to worry less about Humanoids from the Deep, which delivered enough sex and violence to satisfy the most sadistic, misogynistic audience, than about television's Charlie's Angels, which is just a tease, placing its glamor-girl...
Last spring's U.C.L.A. development has prompted similar questions, but the medical payoff from it may come a bit sooner. In that experiment, a team of scienlists led by Martin Cline and Winston Salser isolated genes that help produce an enzyme resistant to methotrexate, a drug used to treat cancer. The researchers added the genes to cell cultures of mouse bone marrow. The cells that picked up the foreign material, along with cells that had been incubated with genes that do not confer resistance, were then injected into mice whose own bone marrow had been destroyed...

...English-speaking students thrust into regular classes-except for a slight edge in elementary math. Proponents of bilingualism, including Hufstedler, regard the report not only as inadequate but out of date. Says Rudolph Troike, director of the office of multicultural bilingual education at the University of Illinois: "The payoff of bilingual education doesn't show up until the fifth or sixth year of instruction." Most critics wonder if the educational system and the taxpayers can wait that long for an answer...
