...Justice Department filed suit against 52 Southern districts to force them to abandon dual school systems by September. That would reduce the holdout districts in all of the South to only 70 of the area's 2,731. Similar suits against many of the 70 are expected to be filed promptly...
Without a test moratorium, the Soviets will probably have three-headed MIRVs ready for their giant SS-9s by 1972. Both sides' land-based missiles would then be vulnerable. In that event. Harvard Professor George Kistiakowsky suggests, the superpowers might agree to abandon land sites altogether in favor of submarine-borne warheads. Then, in order to avoid a new action-reaction cycle that would ultimately render the submarines subject to detection and destruction, Kistiakowsky envisions a ban on further development of antisubmarine warfare. "I know it sounds shocking to say that we must deny ourselves the means of locating...
Sensible Adjustment. Herbert York of the University of California (San Diego), a former ranking Pentagon official, suggests that no matter what happens at SALT, the U.S. should abandon its land-based missiles and settle for an undersea force of no more than 30 subs. York would also retain about 250 bombers, but he would abandon the ABM. One serious objection to York's plan is that the nation's defense would rest mainly on one weapons system and that if it were destroyed, the country would be virtually helpless. Yet 30 Poseidon subs equipped with MIRVed missiles...
Invading Viruses. Teminism, as the theory came to be called, received little support from other scientists; it suggested that RNA could pass genetic information along to DNA, a clear reversal of accepted dogma. But Temin refused to abandon his idea. He knew that tumor-causing RNA viruses somehow inject their deadly message permanently into the host cell; otherwise, the cancer would not be passed on during cell division to future generations of cells. Yet the invading viruses carry with them no DNA of their own. Therefore, Temin reasoned, they must somehow make DNA after invading the host cell. The only...
...Administration could also tell some of its zealous regulators of business not to use?or misuse?antitrust laws and other regulations to block social action. Last month the Securities and Exchange Commission ordered Michigan Consolidated Gas to abandon its housing projects. A subsidiary had built low-rent town houses in the Detroit ghetto and downtown apartments for the elderly and planned three more projects in other Michigan cities. The SEC acknowledged the "meritorious" nature of the program, but contended that it was the sort of outside activity forbidden by the Public Utility Holding Company Act. The Detroit News acidly pointed...
