...acceptability of the foregoing principle depends upon organization of the scholarly community in ways that produce both loyalty and the relief of grievances. The government of a university depends, even more than that of a political community, upon the consent of all the governed to accept decisions reached by its constitutional processes. The consent of the dissenters depends partly upon their knowing that their views effectively entered into the process of consensus, even though they did not prevail. They must also be convinced that the opportunities for change are open and the goals and stance of the enterprise are sufficiently...
Mayor White's intercession last week seems to have quieted Boston's school crisis, but the relief is likely to be only temporary. Like most mayors across the country, Kevin White is fighting disruptions in two interlocking revolutions--one in race relations, the other in techniques of administration--and his power to deal with the problems is distinctly limited...
...damage that results in the patient's tremor, muscle rigidity, forward-falling posture, hasty gait and "pill-rolling" movements of the fingers.

Even radical brain surgery usually relieves only some of the symptoms. Now a new drug has been found that is more effective in most cases than earlier medicines and promises real progress in future Parkinsonism treatment, once it is thoroughly tested. Unfortunately...

When the liver fails completely, the results are so predictably fatal that doing anything that might provide relief is better than doing nothing. The healthy liver not only performs dozens of vital metabolic chores, it is also an essential purification plant, purging toxic wastes from the bloodstream. Even diseased, the liver has a remarkable capability: it can often regenerate its damaged cells and rebuild lost tissues. The problem is to keep the patient alive while the liver is taking a recuperative holiday...
