...timing of the research cutbacks especially irks graduate schools. The cuts came after universities had already signed contracts with professors and graduate researchers for the current school year. "You just can't tell a man to come to the university and then cut him off," protests Raymond E. Peck, a vice president of the University of Missouri. With commitments already made, the schools claim that they will have to dip into their own operating funds or endowments to keep many of the NSF projects going. The Berkeley mathematics department termed the NSF reductions "outrageous and inequitable," and issued...
Bailed Out by Caltech. Stanford officials expect to lose $7 million from the school's total research budget of $46.1 million, which means that the university will operate at least $700,000 in the red this year. Assistant Dean Richard Leahy of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences predicts that some graduate students will have to drop out because of a 25% cut in research support. Harvard's Graduate School of Education may have to abandon a promising study of how preschool children develop. Caltech will have to provide at least...

...liver. The virus had damaged so many liver cells that metabolic wastes were piling up and poisoning him. Alarmed doctors notified John's father, Peter F. Bayne, a school administrator in Claremont, Calif., and the Peace Corps called on Dr. Charles Trey, a South African-born research physician now at Harvard. Trey managed to get to Bombay in two days. He estimated that 90% of young Bayne's liver had been knocked out and gave him only a 10% chance of survival. Even that depended on the treatment that Trey had devised, in which the patient...
Enrico Clementi, a theoretical chemist at IBM's San Jose research laboratory, was familiar with the mathematical descriptions of the actions of the electrons, nuclei, atoms and molecules that participate in a chemical reaction. He was certain that a solution of all the equations involved would give a mathematically precise picture of any chemical reaction. But how could he possibly manage the hundreds of billions of forbidding mathematical steps required for the solution? To an IBM man, the answer was obvious...
