Townspeople elsewhere merely carp about glass boxes and pine for the architectural past. San Franciscans have taken action. Earlier this month the board of supervisors passed an elaborate set of rules governing development in the 470-acre urban heart. The new code, sponsored by Mayor Dianne Feinstein, is more prescriptive and restrictive than any other ever adopted by an American city. At once radical and conservative, the Downtown Plan will permit only a couple of new towers to be built in the dense center of downtown. It will limit large-scale building citywide to an annual aggregate...
...this third film in the Mad Max cycle had stopped there, it might have been some kind of low, visionary masterpiece. But "beyond Thunderdome" lies only preacherly anticlimax. Cast out into the wilderness for failing to live up to Barter-town's dog-eat-dog code, Max is rescued by a tribe of lost children as the savior their mythology has promised them. When the talk drags, he leads them on a crusade of the innocents against Aunty and her crowd...
...President were to begin launch procedures, he would signal the Strategic Air Command headquarters near Omaha, which would send messages with an "enabling code" to places like Tango Zero. The enabling code allows the missiles to be unlocked. MacKinnon and Griffin then open a red metal box containing a book that verifies the code received, along with two small keys. The six-figure code is dialed into a machine, and the missile's "safety" removed. Standing 12 ft. apart, the two crewmen then turn their keys within no more than 1.5 sec. of each other (it is impossible...
...quite apart from thoughts of a nuclear winter. It may be that after Hiroshima, Americans were no longer so keen on their seemingly infinite capacity to make things work, that the technological success of Hiroshima took the heart out of American can-do self-esteem. (At Los Alamos, a code name for the Bomb was the "gadget.") On this basis, one might work up an elaborate psychological theory explaining the subsequent fall of America's industry and the rise of Japan's as products of a national guilty conscience. But the American impulse to deplore and fret over mechanical progress...
...AIDS virus directly, generally by interfering with its replication, and those that are aimed at rebuilding the immune system. The Pasteur Institute's HPA-23, which may be available for study in the U.S. this fall, prevents the virus from reproducing by blocking the transcription of its genetic code. In limited studies, HPA-23 has indeed been shown to reduce the amount of virus present in some patients' blood. But it is by no means clear that it alleviates their illness. What is more, the drug can have potentially serious side effects, including blood-clotting problems. Acknowledges Dr. Willy Rozenbaum...
