...appears that Tsongas's chances rest on his ability to use the money he raises to increase his exposure in areas outside of his home district--especially the western part of the state. So far, the efforts aimed at making "Tsongas" a familiar name seem to have been fairly successful: a television and radio campaign in western Massachusetts has doubled the candidate's visibility, Goldman says. Now, in hopes of doing the same in the east, and because he can afford the $2000-and-up price-tag of a 30-second slot of air time on Boston television stations, Tsongas...
Despite the formidable obstacles in their way, many Latin American governments now seem determined to save what remains of their ancient national heritage. Explains Silvio Mutal, a Lima-based U.N. official who has been helping in the struggle to preserve Andean culture: "We are dealing with the birthright of whole races. It is vital that these artifacts stay in their countries of origin so that the descendants of their makers can see and learn from their past...
There could be much trouble, since some labor chieftains seem to be in a battling mood. Last week United Auto Workers President Douglas Fraser, invoking some class-struggle rhetoric that sounded like the 1930s, resigned from the semiofficial Labor-Management Group.

...every cell in an organism -be the life form a human being, a maple tree or a bacterium-carries all the genetic information needed to create the whole organism. The reason that a liver cell is different from, say, a skin cell is that different genes in each cell seem to be "turned on." In the language of biologists, the cells are differentiated. U.S. Biologists Robert W. Briggs and Thomas J. King confirmed this principle and pioneered the basic technique of animal cloning in the early 1950s. They removed the nuclei of unfertilized egg cells from female frogs. These nuclei...
...Council of Great Britain, opened at the Royal Academy in London. There they are, together at last -John Everett Millais's Bubbles, Sir Edwin Landseer's Stag at Bay, George Frederick Watts' Hope, John Collier's The Prodigal Daughter and dozens more. Nothing could have seemed more secure than the fame and popularity of their authors; painters like Lord Leighton or, especially, Alma-Tadema (who, while working on one of his Imperial Roman story-pictures, had fresh roses shipped to him from the south of France weekly for four months to get the petals right) made...
