More than 20 students attended the event, at which members of campus publications, including The Crimson and The Harvard Perspective, read selections from various books that had been banned at the time of their publication...
Parents of children enrolled in the Morse Cambridge School also testified that the school's textbooks were dated. One parent read from a social studies book--currently in use--which urged students to prepare themselves for a time when people will walk on the moon...
...Reading these genetic words and deciphering their meaning is apparently a snap for the clever machinery of a cell. But for mere scientists it is a formidable and time-consuming task. For instance, a snippet of DNA might read ACGGTAGAT, a message that researchers can decipher rather easily. It codes for a sequence of three of the 20 varieties of amino acids that constitute the building blocks of proteins. But the entire genome of even the simplest organism dwarfs that snippet. The genetic blueprint of the lowly E. coli bacterium, for one, is more than 4.5 million base pairs long...
...better way? In San Francisco in January, Energy Department scientists displayed a photograph of a DNA strand magnified a million times by a scanning tunneling microscope. It was the first direct image of the molecule. If sharper images can be made, the scientists suggested, it may be possible to read the genetic code directly. But that day seems very...
...number of current or former officials say U.S. intelligence agencies have had considerable success in penetrating classified military computer systems in the Soviet Union and other countries. The rule, explains one expert, is that "any country whose sensitive communications we can read, we can get into their computers." Breaches of some Soviet computers were done not by cracking codes but by physically breaking into Soviet military facilities, sources said...
