...little tolerance for negative thinking, was distressed by the apparent defeatism of his seasoned staffers and he is trying to do something about it. He has set out to remold USIA as a hard-sell exponent of U.S. policies in the 104 lands where it operates. In the process, Shakespeare has involved the agency in more controversy than it has seen in years, and has given it its most partisan tone since cold-war days...
...diagram). Next, the scientists heated the dissimilar DNA molecules, causing each double helix to unwind and separate into one lighter and one heavier strand. Taking only the heavier strand from each virus, the researchers placed them in the same test tube, reheated them and then cooled them slowly, a process that causes two chemically complementary strands of DNA to combine in a double helix. But the two strands were complementary only along the segments that had been parts of the original bacterial lac gene. Thus, only these segments could combine (Step 2). The remainder of the viral strands, unable...

(Some mortgage lenders now grumble that they are "stuck" with loans made years ago at interest that seemed high then but is low now.) The end result of this process would be that investors would refuse to supply as much long-term credit as the nation needs to build needed houses, schools and other facilities...

It is the speech about having been to the top of the mountain, and hearing that tremulous sermon again reminds me that history is a process of forgetting. The dim past surges up before us, events which had an aura that defined them are obscured. Even Vietnam is an experience, like a dream, because it exists in a moment charged with the intentions of our lives...
