...problem is far more complicated than that, as any scientist who has tried merely to determine the biological races has discovered. Among the first to try was the German zoologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in 1775. On the basis of physical characteristics, he saw five human subspecies or races-a term possibly deriving from the Arabic rds (beginning). Blumenbach divided humans into races that he called Caucasian (white), Mongolian (yellow), Ethiopian (black), American (copper) and Malay (brown...
...more disengaged political observer, a veteran of many Boston campaigns, summed up the feeling at Hicks headquarters, "The 'Heart' people are convinced they've killed the 'Skyline' candidates."

Vice President Hubert Humphrey, a longtime Minnesota friend, calls Scammon "one of the smartest men in town," adds: "He isn't just a statistician-he's a profound and deep student."

At the moment, the talk is as likely as not to be about the new building. Some scientists have been heard to gripe that there is not enough lab space, but by and large the vote is strongly affirmative. Says J. Doyne Sartor, program scientist in cloud physics: "This building has a personality." Adds Electronics Engineer Raymond Chu: "Scientists or engineers will never be completely satisfied with any building. But this...
