There was another reason for Shevchenko to defect. TIME has learned that for two years he has been secretly talking to U.S. intelligence officers. In recent weeks he has offered to explain which American agency-presumably either the CIA or the FBI-had been deluded by Soviet agents who fed them "disinformation" prepared by the KGB. According to one source, Shevchenko's price for this interesting secret is about $100,000 a year. If the U.S. should reject his terms, Shevchenko has the alternative of giving similar information to five other nations whose secret services have been in touch...
Ellison contends that the study shows the dramatic impact of group living and social disruption on drinking, and helps explain why depressants can be an effective way to attack human alcoholism. The most important finding may be a more obvious one: when it comes to boozing, rats are only human...
...hard-hats belong to the New York Coalition of Black and Puerto Rican Construction Workers, and that ten-foot-long "Beat Back Bakke" sign they're holding up removes any doubt.

Emmerich condemns the discipline of sociobiology as "a chaos of untested and untenable extrapolations." This single phrase indicates he ignored the major portion of DeVore's speech which explained how the consistent findings by a wide variety of researchers support specific behavioral theories. To cover his bets Emmerich says that zoologists should not try to explain human behavior. He mentions the surprising genetic similarity between man and other relatives but it does not occur to him that we probably share some basic behavioral genes as well as some basic anatomical genes. He claims DeVore made "unverifiable conjectures" and says "human...
...timing of that scheduled execution helps explain the Soviets' sudden espousal of the Harris case. It coincided with the end of the Belgrade Conference on European Security and Cooperation on March 9. On that day, the U.S.S.R. managed to suppress any mention of human rights in the final document produced by the conferees, even though the 35-nation meeting had been called to review compliance with the 1975 Helsinki accords, including its human rights provisions. The Russians evidently seized on the case of Johnny Harris as a convenient riposte...
