...Johnson and news editor of the Johnsons' Austin television station, was accompanying Claudia Rutt, 18, for a polio shot she needed before entering Texas Christian University. Claudia suddenly sank to the ground. Paul bent over her, then pitched to the sidewalk himself. Both were dead. A block north, Political Scientist Harry Walchuk, 39, a father of six and a teacher at Michigan's Alpena Community College, browsed in the doorway of a newsstand after working all morning in the college library. He was shot dead on the spot. A few steps farther up the street, Senior Thomas Karr...
...Center has already done preliminary work in streamlining the administrations of Central American universities, where poor libraries and laboratories make it impossible to attract a single scientist with a doctorate. One way of up-grading the faculty, Davis suggested, is to bring visiting professors to train the local teachers. Such methods might also be used on the secondary school level, another researcher suggested...
...whose Latin handle is Cheirodon axelrodi. Among the most expensive is the brown Discus, or Symphysodon aequifasciata axelrodi, for which hobbyists pay $300 for a breeding pair. Both of these, as well as about two dozen other varieties of tropical fish, are named for a burly, sometimes surly, businessman-scientist named Herbert R. Axelrod.

But Canadians know him best as the World War II commander of Canadian troops in Europe, who bitterly disputed Allied plans to commit his men piecemeal, arguing that his divisions should form a single force "pointed at the heart...
...charges Manhattan Lawyer James Marshall in Law and Psychology in Conflict (Bobbs-Merrill; $5.95). A leading civil rights lawyer in the 1930s, Marshall, 70, is a well-known political scientist. In his sobering new book, he finds the U.S. trial system guilty of woeful ignorance of elementary psychology. Not only is truth highly elusive in "a field dominated by hostility," he says, but the law wrongly assumes that witnesses can "see accurately, hear accurately and recall accurately." Man is so subjective, Marshall argues, that the law's naive reliance on his "factual" testimony is almost laughable...
