...Joint Committee on Atomic Energy was understandably concerned last October, when members read press reports that McNamara had decided to reject the Navy's request for a nuclear power plant in a new carrier authorized by Congress in 1962. Although the Atomic Energy Act requires McNamara to keep the committee "fully and currently" informed on such matters, he ignored its requests for information. Then, just three days after Rhode Island's Democratic Senator John Pastore, the committee chairman, announced the opening date for hearings on the issue, Secretary McNamara revealed that he had already decided against the Navy...
Matched Blood. For a week, Davis was dosed with three potent drugs that suppress the body's natural tendency to reject any "foreign" protein. In Tulane University's colony of primates, hematologists checked the blood group of Adam, an 80-lb. chimpanzee about seven years old. It was type A, like Davis'. On the appointed day, Davis and Adam lay in operating rooms on opposite sides of the street. At the School of Medicine, Adam was anesthetized, and his temperature was dropped to 90°. Then a surgeon removed the animal's two kidneys along with...

Blaine uses his theory in "short-term psychotherapy," the usual treatment offered by the Health Services. In the program, the student usually comes in once...
...general, the editors seem aware only of those few faults of academicism that they directly discuss. Certainly, they have not eliminated the loose, repetitious writing so prevalent in universities or the pretentious phrases incorrectly used. Nor do they reject the pedant's tone of self-conscious enlightment...
