Exaggerated and contradictory headlines have chronicled progress in this research in Cambridge and California over the past year. Some observers, however, have felt the the scientists quest for insulin-production is more of a race. Researchers, they point out, are not ignorant of the potential prize of being first--lucrative contracts with drug companies and a likely Nobel Prize...
Sadat also was awarded a Family of Man medallion, just as he and Begin will share the Nobel Prize for Peace. In an acceptance speech read by former Premier Mamdouh Salem, he pointedly insisted that he went to Jerusalem and to Camp David "to establish peace for the entire area." Despite such oft-repeated assertions, both radical and moderate Arabs are concerned that Sadat has, in effect, sold out to Israel.

Sedgwick, the villainous "ten-time Nobel prize loser," seeks to ruin Superman's reputation in Metropolis. Strongly played by Fred Barton, the mad doctor epitomizes nurdiness; he is the science wonk par excellence, dressed in white lab coat, sneakers, and ABC sportscaster's plaid pants.

Faculty members are permitted up to 52 days annually of outside consulting work, which supplements salaries averaging $28,100. Caltech's past president, Harold Brown, was so well known as a top nuclear-weapons specialist that Jimmy Carter whisked him from Pasadena to become Secretary of Defense. Large high-technology companies, such as Beckman Instruments and TRW, both founded by Caltech alumni, value their close ties...
