Jacqueline Newmyers's fine article ("Berkowitz Prepares to File Formal Grievance over Tenure Denial," Dec. 14, 1998) summarizes the fundamental procedural flaws-concerning both the composition of the ad hoc committee and the participation in the tenure review by Associate Provost of the University, Director of the Program in Ethics and the Professions, and Professor of Government Dennis F. Thompson-at the center of my appeal. However, some of the information given to Ms. Newmyer by members of the Harvard faculty and administration is untrue or misleading and needs to be corrected...
...Professor Thompson's objection betrays a misunderstanding of my grievance, a misconception about Harvard's own tenure review procedures, and more generally a failure to respect the ethics of procedure. As I pointed out in a letter of Nov. 9, 1998, to Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Carol J.

Meanwhile, the threat of being upstaged by Venter has put enormous pressure on the Human Genome Project. During a previously scheduled project review last summer, the directors did a thorough re-evaluation of their procedures, soliciting advice from the scientists doing the actual mapping. In the end, the message was clear. Says Collins: "We heard from the users that our current degree of accuracy wasn't needed for many of their strategies...
...understand how this promising future might come to pass, it pays to review a little history. Back in the old days--which is to say just a few decades ago--the process of discovering a new drug was a lot like shooting a quiver of arrows into the air and then running around to see what they hit. Occasionally scientists would get lucky, as Fleming did in 1928, but most of their efforts were wasted...
