The University's investments in companies involved in nuclear and other arms production, or in cigarette manufacturing--the ethics of neither of which is evident on its face--have been raised before the Corporation, for example.

Although the researchers are skeptical about any immediate medical applications, there is little doubt that the new technique for gene transfer will shed some light on certain inherited disorders. "In a sense," says Palmiter, "the big mice are models of pituitary giantism in humans." It may also help scientists unravel the mysteries of how a fertilized egg becomes a living organism and how gene regulation goes awry in cancer. Concludes Brinster: "This study provides another system in which we can examine the regulation and control of genes, and that is one of the most important issues in biology...
