...does the body recognize when it is too fat? Work at the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle suggests that the signal may be the level of insulin in the cerebrospinal fluid. In a six-year study, researchers found that by infusing insulin directly into the brains of baboons they could get the animals to eat less and lose weight. The findings suggest a novel way to combat obesity in human beings. Fat people produce insulin in normal amounts, but the insulin sensing mechanisms in their brains may be defective. Thus, compared with people whose weight is normal...
...lived in Jordan W for three semesters so far, more if you count the year. I spent sleeping on the floor in friends' rooms there because I preferred it to my own dorm. Some people have been there almost four years, survivors from the pre-Fox days when freshmen lived at the Quad. Even after that, a couple of freshmen transferred in, virtually unique among their class for escaping both parents and the Yard. Many people there are on the six-year plan of studies: not college and law school but six years as an undergraduate, punctuated by leaves spent...

He is already on record with a series of pledges: to restrict his term in office (to perhaps two years at most), to oversee the preparation of a new constitution (which might limit the President to one six-year term), and to call a new election (probably by 1982) in which all of the country's 17 million voters would choose a chief executive. Trying to build a consensus for such reforms, Choi has met with more than 400 leaders of key groups-the military...
Eisenhower would like to see congressional terms limited and he is an advocate of the single six-year presidential term. Such restrictions might, in his view, restore a higher degree of courage to our process. "We should have had energy ra tioning three years ago," he said. "I mean the right kind of rationing that would cut waste...
...offered depositors something more than "a tacky little toaster" in return for $160,000 left on deposit for eight years -an $84,000 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II. When the Desert Empire Bank of Cathedral City, Calif., tried the same gimmick in 1977 in return for a $ 1 million six-year deposit, it failed to find even one taker, but East New York claims to have had 30 "serious" inquiries...
