...recent years and now fosters more inventiveness. Gone are the legions of men in dark suits and white shirts at Canon's research center, nestled in the hills of Atsugi, just outside Tokyo. Today researchers sport jeans and T shirts, and no one wears a tie. This may seem superficial, but it symbolizes the greater freedom of inquiry, which is stimulating innovation. Says Yoshioki Hajimoto, vice director of the center: "Surprised visitors often comment that this place seems too free." The ambience has contributed to Canon's remarkable success in developing computer printers. Three years ago Canon began producing...
...America's most rabid right-wing Senator is a paid Soviet agent whose stepson has been programmed by Moscow and Peking to assassinate this year's presidential candidate and thus sweep the Senator into the White House "with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy...
...Jewish self-hate but this time did not reinstate the old cautionary mode.

People seem to be catching on that to dance on eggshells about Israel is not only weirdly awkward, it opposes all that one understands both Jewishness and Americanness...
Although they may have finally contracted the virus simply because of repeated exposure, researchers doubt it. Had that been the case, the women who became infected should have been those who had had sex most often. But frequency of intercourse did not seem to matter. Says Researcher James Goedert of the National Cancer Institute: "The study demonstrates that the infected population gets more infectious as time passes, and that the level of risk increases as time goes on." That led Goedert and his colleagues to speculate that early treatment with AZT, the only approved anti-AIDS drug known to inhibit...
Similarly, there were no differences in practices such as oral sex and French kissing among the couples; nor did it seem to matter how often they had intercourse. One wife became infected after only one exposure, and another after just eight. Yet eleven women remained uninfected after more than 200 sexual contacts. The researchers speculate that the originally infected spouses may have somehow differed in their ability to transmit the virus. Another possibility: their husbands and wives may have differed in susceptibility...
