Since both the extent and the effects of industrial concentration are uncertain, most speakers favored a go-slow policy to sort out the facts before trying to enact new antitrust legislation. Said Du Pont's Shapiro: "In view of our domestic economic needs and our international competitive problems, we would do well not to go off on major, and perhaps irreversible, social experiments until there are convincing reasons...
Both creatures appear to have weighed roughly 30 Ibs. and somewhat resembled a rhesus monkey in body form and size. Their diet was probably fruits and other vegetation. As Savage says: "They were a sort of monkey with apelike teeth, bouncing through the trees." They could thus emerge as an earlier common ancestor than Aegyptopithecus of both apes and monkeys, and as a link back to such lower primates as lemurs and tarsiers. That might put them very near the start of anthropoid evolution; Ciochon speculates that they may have migrated into Africa via western Asia to evolve into later...
Vins is an uncompromising Baptist. The trade that brought him and four other Soviet prisoners of conscience to the U.S., in return for two spies sent back to the Soviet Union, has presented the world with a new sort of religious witness. The stocky preacher and poet, who spent seven of the past 15 years in Siberia, is the first leader of the tens of thousands of breakaway "Reform Baptists" to reach the West. Fourteen years ago, they formally seceded from the government-recognized All-Union Council of Evangelical Christians-Baptists in order to fight for more religious freedom than...
...blacks, as, apparently, President Bok and some of the teaching fellows do. It is as naive to expect that anyone in the U.S. will provide arms to the blacks (this would, of course, be more effective than divestiture), as other signatories of this letter do. Divestiture is the only sort of pressure that can be sustained on a large scale and would have tremendous impact. It is well known that countries do succumb to such pressures. The best argument for divestiture is the support for economic sanctions that is given by black South Africans abroad and by liberal white South...
...FINGERS! 880 PIANO KEYS! said the posters. Actually, there were 41 pianists, all current or former students of List's in his more staid guise as a teacher (first at the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music, now at New York University). Following a sort of platoon system, the performers came and went at the keyboards often grand pianos, which were arranged in a Busby Berkeley-style fan between two potted palms...
