...kind of attitude toward policy making that led one UHall administrator to remark last week that Fox appears likely to be firmer and more decisive than his predecessor, Charles P. Whitlock. Now associate dean of the Faculty, Whitlock says he thinks the College dean should become a more autonomous unit, regaining the strength the office had up until the early '50s. The more House masters and the heads of other College areas turn to the College dean, he points out, the greater the time Dean Rosovsky makes it clear he is looking for that kind of independence in the College...
Jerry Lane, a 47-year old Central Square resident, has his own theory about the decline of the Square. Lane is the president of the Rothman's Tenant Unit, a tenants' rights organization organized solely for occupants of rent-controlled buildings owned by George Rothman, who Lane jokingly calls both "Mr. Central Square" and "a snake." According to Lane, Rothman "is a powerful man who can do almost anything" and has, Lane says, impeded the drive for tenants' rights in his buildings through his influence peddling...
...Israeli National Police Force, which set up its own hypnosis unit in 1972, agrees. Its team of trained hypnotists has solved 25 cases and advanced the investigations in 60 more.

...L.A.P.D. unit's approach to a witness is simple and direct. The subject is offered a comfortable chair, and a two-man team explains to him that a witness cannot be hypnotized against his will. (When one scared subject blurted that "the devil will come out of me if I'm hypnotized," he was excused.) "Motivation is the most important thing," says Sandstrom. "If they are willing to cooperate and you help them to relax, then it is very easy...
Like the sages of his native India, Organic Chemist and Nobel Laureate* Har Gobind Khorana is an extremely patient man. Nine years ago, he began working on the chemical synthesis of a single gene-the basic unit of heredity. By 1970 he had constructed a yeast-cell gene identical to the original-except for one thing: it lacked the vital "start" and "stop" signals to make it function in a living cell. Last week members of Khorana's team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology disclosed that his goal had finally been achieved. At an American Chemical Society meeting...
