...FIRST TRIP to Saigon in 1962 as a reporter for the New York Times, David Halberstam saw the American effort in Vietnam as a worthwhile endeavor. The war, he says in his notes in The Best and the Brightest, seemed to be a test of two political systems in a political war, and he preferred "our system." Admitting his failure, the failure of the press and many others at the time to see the atrocities the United States government would commit in Southeast Asia, Halberstam arrived at a different conclusion by 1962--that our handling of Vietnam was doomed...
With a 2-1 lead early in the half, Harvard kept up the offensive pressure, but with the team attacking so fiercely, the Huskies broke past the Harvard defense occasionally to test the Crimson resistance. In the second half, though, the Huskies ran into a brick wall...
Third, rapid and inexpensive tests have been developed in recent years to measure the capacity of chemicals to induce mutations in bacteria. Of the chemicals that have been tested in one microbial system, 90 per cent of those that scored positive for mutagenicity were also found to induce tumors when studied in animals. In light of this high correlation between mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, test systems for mutagenicity are being used increasingly to identify potentially toxic substances early in product development. Recent reports do indicate that saccharin-containing products produce mutations in test systems...
Faculty members at the University who were reached for comment yesterday agreed with the findings of the roll, saying that Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, a common index of academic preparation for college, have remained virtually constant at Harvard, in contrast to the downward trend nationwide...
When Concorde will actually start landing in other U.S. cities, and which ones, is still unclear. Last week's decision, coming on the last day of the 16-month test period, formally only extended it. Flights to cities other than Washington and New York cannot begin until a final ruling is issued. That will not be until early 1978, and "it may take longer than that," said Adams. Other airports that could become Concordeports are Anchorage, Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle-Tacoma. Any of those can ban the Concorde...
