...military bases. The Russians are eying Cam Ranh Bay, the massive port in South Viet Nam built by the U.S. for more than $130 million. Because such an acquisition would really alarm China, most observers see it as unlikely. "Whether Hanoi avoids Peking's wrath will depend on how successfully the North Vietnamese can make it appear that they are working in Asia's interest and not just in their own or the Soviet Union's," said Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. "Hanoi just cannot allow the Russians to build a base in North...
Folkman published his findings slightly over one year ago, concluding that TAF is a protein that malignant tissue releases, instructing neighboring tissue to supply the budding tumor with a blood supply. Other pathologic conditions, as well as cancers, depend on the obedience of the victim in setting up an arterial supply to the lesion, or disease focus. What doctors speculate Monsanto is investing in is an agent or antibody that could block the action of the TAF protein. Such a pharmaceutical could be administered systematically upon diagnosis of a primary tumor, and the presence of the anti-TAF might insure...

Reed's theory probably has less currency than any other; all the rest depend on the notion that Harvard is different, and therefore worth puzzling over...
Warren, 70, whose career has included Pulitzer Prizes for both poetry and fiction, does not shirk controversy in these two sinuously reasoned essays. He contends that art and democracy feed on each other, because both depend on the play of unfettered minds.

In the fullness...
Haruo's grueling day is not uncommon in Japan, where a child's chances for future success in politics, business or the professions depend heavily on the prestige of his gakureki-literally, his academic background. One index of the increasing pressure on young Japanese to pile up an impressive gakureki is the phenomenal rise of after-hours or weekend schools known as juku. Their main purpose: to help students cram for tough competitive entrance exams required to get into the most select high schools and the best colleges...
