...Scorning Togliatti's parliamentary tactics, the Stalinists still prefer the revolutionary road to victory. Like Scoccimarro. most of the old guard are veterans of Mussolini's jails, but some are young toughs who shouted at a recent meeting: "Khrushchev is a madman who belongs in a padded cell...
Intellectual Compact. All this got Oakland into trouble from the start. Students looking forward to the glamour of college complained that no-frills Oakland was "a very lonely place, like a concrete cell." It was even lonelier after the first quarter, when one grade out of every six was an F. Though the school magnanimously allowed flunkers to repeat courses-and hence got charged with junking its intellectual aims-nearly 400 of the original freshman class of 570 have dropped out. The few hard-working survivors on the vast campus endured everything from overblown rumors of faculty dissension...
...volatile students, who were already excited by a crisis of their own: the sacking of five secondary-school students on the official pretext that they had penciled whiskers on a picture of the Shah.

In Teheran and Shiraz, tough, rock-hurling students touched off the fiercest street fighting since 1952, when an earlier coalition of extremes maintained weepy Mohammed Mossadegh in power...
...when something goes wrong in the womb-typically, cataracts in a child resulting from the fact that the mother had German measles (TIME, Aug. 1, 1960). The rest are hereditary, dating from the instant that a sperm and an ovum, one or both defective, join to make a defective cell. In the subdividing process that starts at once, every newly created cell carries in its genes the defect, ready to misguide the fetus toward abnormal development-malformation, for example, or mental retardation...
...Pauling is especially interested in molecular malformations in the blood. At the California Institute of Technology, where his work on molecule structure got him a 1954 Nobel Prize, he and Dr. Harvey Itano have gone far to explain sickle-cell anemia, which is usually debilitating and may be fatal, and afflicts many U.S. Negroes and vast numbers in Africa. The disease got its name because the deoxygenated red cells in the veins lose their globular shape (they look normal in the arteries) and take a crescent or sickle form. The Pauling team found that this was because of a minute...
