Strapped with such ideological baggage, Bork now must claim that as a Supreme Court justice he would at times feel bound to uphold decisions he criticized as an academic. Then again, his equivocations last week under the klieg lights could simply be the last refuge of a jurisprudential scoundrel seeking confirmation before a largely hostile Senate...
Nowhere is the battle to uphold French more heated than in the fields of science, commerce and high technology, which are dominated the world over by English. "Our technical contribution," the newsmagazine Le Point recently lamented, "stopped with the word chauffeur." To strike back, committees have been formed by industrial and educational groups to create new French words for every modern occasion. Thus, a Frenchman now listens to his baladeur, rather than a Walkman, and plans vacations according to his partage de temps, and not his time-share.

South San Francisco-based Genentech last week lost a significant legal battle when a British high court failed to uphold a patent that the company had received in Britain on t-PA, a substance that dissolves blood clots, a cause of heart attacks. Some industry experts think the British case could be a harbinger of more patent troubles for biotech firms. In the aftermath of the London ruling, the prices...
