...with young Jews, mostly urban emigres, doing interesting things with their lives and their religion. "The pop American Jewishness, the Woody Allen thing, had no underpinnings," explains Ron Wild, a Montpelier resident from Atlanta who heads the annual Conference on Judaism in Rural New England. "It was easy to reject. A lot of people walked away from that." Many college-age Jews in the late '60s and '70s left the cities for the arresting landscapes of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont in the back-to-the-land movement -- a diaspora from the Diaspora, says Eno. After the novelty of clean...
Because SCID mice lack immune systems, the scientists did not expect them to reject the transplanted human cells. Researchers also suspected that the human fetal cells, since they are too immature to distinguish themselves from foreign cells, would not reject the mice in a graft-vs.-host response. But, surprisingly, the adult human cells used in the La Jolla research did not reject the mice either. "That these human cells recirculate around in the mice without caring is astounding," said Dr. Donald Mosier, head of the La Jolla research team...
...Republican Convention. But freedom doesn't mean reciting a loyalty oath on command. They have that kind of freedom in the U.S.S.R.

The high costs of treating AIDS patients is an actuarial problem for insurers, who routinely reject seropositives seeking life or medical coverage. "Once we sign on, we're there for the duration," says Emily Crandall, vice president of the Guardian Life Insurance Co. of America...
...vigorously pro-British Protestant politicians of Northern Ireland are not satisfied with such limited steps. They called upon Thatcher to reinstate the practice of interning suspected I.R.A. terrorists in prison camps without trial. Former Prime Minister Edward Heath urged Thatcher to reject internment, however, contending that it proved disastrous after the policy was introduced in 1971. Not only was Britain widely denounced for violating human rights, but the internment policy triggered a bloody I.R.A. bombing campaign. Predicts former Northern Ireland Secretary Lord Whitelaw, who abandoned the practice in 1975: "Such a move would inevitably result in violence on a truly...
