...computer owners most certainly constitute a socio-economic class. The Harvard Establishment, nonetheless, has forestalled the formation of class-consciousness among them by a clever, two-pronged strategy. First, through the process of cultural hegemony, the University has spread its cheery vision of the Computer Age so effectively that even those unable to afford computers have adopted its values...
...brightness of the separate spots and "reconstructs" them into a three- dimensional picture of the crystal. Straightforward as this sounds, the equations were so daunting that they were ignored by the scientific community for ten years. Says Hauptman: "Crystallographers didn't have the background to use it." With the spread of high-speed computers, however, the power of the new method became clear. Once it took a couple of years to analyze a small crystal. Now, says Karle's wife Isabella, a chemist and one of the earliest champions of the technique, "this is done routinely in about...
...jumped the Atlantic and the Pacific, and brought with it the same fear and anxiety that continue to bedevil Americans. Indeed, the reactions frequently border on hysteria, adding ostracism and discrimination to the suffering of the world's AIDS victims. Headlines in Europe have proclaimed the disease's spread with dire warnings of a new plague. This has led Professor Carlo de Bac, secretary of the Italian League to Combat Virus Diseases, to complain that journalists are creating "unjustified alarm and panic worthy of the Dark Ages." But there has been at least one positive result of the increased...
...those nations that have issued official statistics, Brazil ranks second, with 483 known sufferers, followed by France (392), Haiti (377), Canada (323), West Germany (300) and Britain (225). Large areas of the globe, including India, China and the Soviet Union, have reported no indigenous cases at all. But the spread of the virus through international travel seems impossible to control, and it is unlikely to spare any country. As has already been seen in the U.S., once the disease takes hold, the number of victims multiplies rapidly. No one knows how many sufferers around the world have died from...
Despite encouragement from the WHO and other groups, the fight against the spread of AIDS is not yet a worldwide effort. In India, for example, where the government insists there have not been any confirmed cases, health officials are at odds over whether to take preventive action. Dr. D.B. Bisht, director- general of Indian government health services, complains that other "high- priority programs will suffer because of pressure to divert funds from them to anti-AIDS programs. We can't afford this, since there is no evidence of AIDS." Dr. I.S. Gilada, secretary of the Indian Health Organization, considers this...
