...physician, a nutritionist and scientist, and have throughly reviewed the medical literature on breast feeding. I am currently involved in research into the issue, and have for 20 years been writing about it. My interpretation of the scientific evidence leaves absolutely no doubt in my mind, first, that bottle feeding is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries and, second, that the promotion of formulas by corporations such as Nestles has contributed significantly to this most tragic of problems...

...former member of FORTUNE magazine's board of editors and the author of highly acclaimed studies of race (Crisis in Black and White) and education (Crisis in the Classroom), Silberman began his Ford Foundation-funded research six years ago.

For example, expensive new communications systems have been widely installed to cut down the time it takes a police car to reach...
Caltech alumni give much credit for their school's achievements to its small size, which allows scientists in different disciplines to know each other well. Frequently, interdisciplinary research projects are first sketched over lunch at the Athenaeum, an elegant faculty club with a high-beamed Spanish-style ceiling at the campus' east end. Academically, the school deliberately remains narrower than, say, M.I.T., which is noted for such nonscientific departments as linguistics and economics. At Caltech the focus is on engineering and basic research in the "hard" sciences, especially physics, astronomy, biology, chemistry and seismology. Nuts-and-bolts technology gets little...
