The Cabinet was dominated by pragmatists and retreads from past Republican Administrations, rather than the ideologically pure. The sub-Cabinet was showing dangerous signs of following suit. Something had to be done quickly, he warned, to mollify Reagan's hard-core following of right-wing ideologues...
...recent years, scientists have also developed other techniques in genetic engineering. Most aim at modifying the hereditary mechanisms of microorganisms or cells for purposes of research or commerce. Others include the fusion of cells, DNA synthesis and the creation of hybridomas, long-lived cells that are designed to produce pure antibodies for use against disease. But of all these marvels, it is gene splicing that scientists consider the most exciting. Says the University of Zurich's Charles Weissmann, 50, who last year became the first scientist to make bacteria produce a facsimile of human interferon: "Biology has become as unthinkable...
...even though the venture might have pumped some needed cash into the university's coffers. Stanford's president, Donald Kennedy, a biologist himself, is urging his colleagues to use "caution and deliberation" in responding to the flurry of overtures from gene-engineering firms. Reason: potential conflict of interest between pure science and the demands of their commercial employers...
Although Boyer spends no more than one day a week at Genentech, that involvement has irritated many colleagues. Some will barely talk to him, claiming that he has profited by research done mainly at the university. They believe it is impossible to pursue "pure" research and develop commercial products at the same time. There is even talk that his publicized involvement with Genentech may have cost him a Nobel Prize. But the carping, probably motivated at least in part by jealousy, does not seem to bother Boyer too much. Says he: "If you have a strong conviction that what...

To his surprise, when Daley addressed the college officials, he painted a picture of a "wall-to-wall law school. It was pure Richard J. Daley Chicago Circle boosterism...
