...extraordinarily well-developed characters and strikingly witty and realistic dialogue. Having failed to encounter anyone who has heard of this book, or anyone who knew of Goldman as anything other than a screenwriter, save for Marathon Man the novel, it seemed reasonable to attempt a reader-service and recommend Boys and Girls Together as a sure way to good vacation or an enjoyable week of bedtime reading. Goldman is a first rate entertainer, and Marathon Man, like almost everything else Goldman has had a hand in, is entertainment of a high order...
Those in favor of this recombinant DNA research emphasize its potential benefits including the ability for plants to fix nitrogen, the potential for finding out more about cancer cells and the development of cheaper ways to make insulin. They claim that the review board should recommend that the Cambridge City Council lift its ban on the research enacted this summer and allow the work to be done under federal guidelines released earlier this year...
...unfortunate that these ethical questions were not debated at Harvard. Such a debate would have gone far toward making science more accountable to the public's needs on this particular issue. But the opportunity has not yet been lost. The Cambridge Experimentation Review Board should recommend that there be a debate held on the federal level about the ethics of recombinant DNA and genetic engineering. At the same time the council should vote that all research should be conducted at a single site, such as Fort Detrick, the former biological warfare laboratory, for several years so the results...

The House of Bishops last week voted to recommend that dioceses require them to undergo a second conditional ordination service so there would be no question about their status.

...clinic will offer a two-pronged (bivalent) vaccine to elderly and chronically ill patients later this month, a shot that should protect against both swine flu and the more prosaic Victoria-A. About two weeks later doctors at UHS will recommend that the rest of us line up for our shots--bivalent, if there's any left, or else monovalent (swine flu only). The clinic's policy of recommending the vaccine to everyone over 18 is in line with federal policy...
