Next to that, the Republicans are a low, base, scary spectre. Hunter Thompson, writing about Nixon's last campaign, said that Republican victory rests on the assumption that the United States is a land of 215 million used car salesmen--that we should respond to our poor people and the world's underprivileged in a spirit of paranoia, that we ought to shoot first and ask questions later, that free enterprise somehow means huge government subsidies to corporations with too much decision-making power over the kind of work we do and the kinds of dreams we have...
PHEROMONES. Insects give off and are programmed to respond to chemical compounds called pheromones. The pheromone exuded by a female insect, for example, automatically draws males of the same species for miles around. Other pheromones identify members of a colony, trigger fight or flight reactions, or are used to mark a path toward food sources. At Beltsville, Jacobson has identified the sex pheromones of the American cockroach. Oriental fruit fly, Mediterranean fruit fly and southwestern pine tip moth. Synthetic forms of such chemicals could, if spread in large quantities over an insect-infested field, so confuse male insects that they...

...radar sets are up all over, sensing a new political configuration," declares Chicago Financier Maynard Wishner, a leader of the city's Jewish community. What those radars are picking up, of course, is the orbiting presidential candidacy of Jimmy Carter. How America's Jews are going to respond to him has been of concern for Carter campaign strategists. They are troubled by the specter of 1972, when Jews-like other traditional Democrats-deserted Democratic Presidential Nominee George McGovern in droves. Instead of polling over 80% of the Jewish vote, as John Kennedy (1960) and Hubert Humphrey...
...reach out to underdeveloped countries, we pass on what we think is good for them, and we respond to their requests for technology and culture as best as we can," Keenan explains. "Harvard doesn't have machine guns--we're not dealing so much with governments as with people, and for the most part, the long-term hope of anybody who believes in universities is that they are good for children and other living things...
