...only be understood as an attempt by most Jewish professors to adjust to an environment hostile to Judaism. Two per cent converted to Christianity; many became staunch humanists with a warm feeling for all aspects of culture and religion, so long as it was not Jewish. A large segment evolved the idea which is still held by many, that the university is a neutral community of scholars where religion should not intrude. The statistics I've just cited as well as the statement by the former president of Dartmouth indicate that this belief in the neutrality of the university performed...
...skill into every untaught hand, and to do this he had "to substitute correct and effective operations of machinery for that skill of the artist which is acquired only by long practice and experience." In that single principle, Whitney created the largest single segment of industrial civilization-the semiskilled worker...
...largely household servants) or an industrial economy (largely the auxiliary services of transportation and utilities, as well as some banking), but "human services" (the expansion in medical care, education and social welfare), professional technical services (research, planning, computer systems), and the like. This has meant that the fastest growing segment of the American labor force has been the professional, college-educated people. Today the professional, technical and managerial occupations make up 26% of the labor force, clerical workers 18%, semiskilled workers 17% and skilled workers only...
...national commitment of the Chinese, there is no lack of urgency among American scientists. California has not had a great earthquake since the San Francisco disaster in 1906, and seismologists are warily eying at least two stretches of the San Andreas Fault that seem to be "locked." One segment, near Los Angeles, has apparently not budged, while other parts of the Pacific and North American plates have slid some 30 ft. past each other. Near San Francisco, there is another locked section. Sooner or later, such segments will have to catch up with the inexorable-movement of the opposing plates...
...years, experimenters have been analyzing the complex IgE molecule in an attempt to find the precise part of its chainlike structure that-like a key fitting into a lock-binds the whole molecule to the mast cell. Experimenting with one segment of the chain, Hamburger finally found and analyzed the structure of the binding part. He then synthesized it, producing a pentapeptide, or chain of five amino acids, that is capable of fitting the binding site on the mast cells. Injected into an allergy victim, the pentapeptide occupies the binding sites on the mast cell and blocks the complete...
