Hellman says that the concern of basic scientists with the disease will persist because of the distinct nature of the cancer cell. Efforts to distinguish the malignant cell by what was presumed would be its faster rate of replication or by identification of foreign proteins on the cell have proved difficult, he says. Such studies involve virologists (studying viruses), pathologists, and molecular biologists. Other research in the last ten years has suggested that a cancer could be linked to a failure of the body's immune system; when asked about vogues in research, Hellman says, "My prejudice...
...nearly 1,000 years, until Don John of Austria broke the Turkish navy at the Battle of Lepanto. In Western eyes, it endowed Persians, Turks and Arabs with an extraordinary strangeness, an "otherness," of which echoes are heard to this day. One of the areas in which they persist, however faintly, is that of art. Given the collections of it in the U.S., not to mention the undying appetite for Oriental carpets, one could hardly say that Islamic art is unfamiliar to Americans. Yet the ceramics and glasswork, the architecture and mural decoration, the metalwork and (except for Mughal miniatures...
...York region under the Lamont-Doherty scientists; and those in the Charleston, S.C., area, operated by the University of South Carolina. When completed and computerized, these networks will provide two warnings of impending quakes. If scientists detect changes in P-wave velocities, magnetic field and other dilatancy effects that persist over a wide area, a large quake can be expected-but not for many months. If the dilatancy effects occur in a small area, the quake will be minor but will occur soon. The return to normal of the dilatancy effects provides the second warning. It indicates that the quake...
However, until a coherent, nationwide policy aimed at grade deflation can be implemented, or until students decide that they've had it with intensive pre-professionalism, higher-than-usual grades probably will persist. As one student puts it. "It's as though the administration were throwing us a bone in the form of high grades. As long as we stay in the classrooms and out of their offices, it'll keep getting bigger...
...existing agreements, including ties with NATO and U.S. base arrangements, should be respected. But then, not so long ago he was saying that the Communist Party would not insist on nationalization either, and while he might bide his time on NATO, nobody expects him to do so indefinitely. Rumors persist that the Soviets are seeking refueling facilities in Madeira for their fishing fleet, a move which would hardly sit well with NATO...
