Beginning work in July 1981, the Bernardin committee held 14 hearings and heard from 36 witnesses, including Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and his predecessor, Harold Brown, SALT Negotiator Gerard Smith, as well as theologians, Bible scholars, physicians and peace protesters. Bernardin sent a copy of the first draft of the committee's report to the Pope, who is said to have approved...
...inmates were asleep when the fire started at about 1.30 a.m. and they were quickly overcome by smoke from the smoldering polyurethane, a synthetic material used as protective padding in an isolation cell, said Harold Windham, an assistant fire chief...
...many cancer viruses do not appear to contain oncogenes. These viruses seem to cause cancer in a less direct way, perhaps by altering genes that are already in the normal cell. Investigating this possibility, Microbiologists J. Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus of the University of California School of Medicine at San Francisco made an astonishing discovery: genes almost identical to the cancer-causing genes in viruses can be found in the normal cells of all manner of creatures, from fruit flies to humans. The supposition is that these harmless genes can easily be turned into the dangerous genes they...
...That does not necessarily mean military technology. We should reduce the profile of our military partnership with them. There is no point in having American Secretaries of Defense running over there all the time, putting on their hard hats and huffing and puffing.

In 1966 he discovered a 19th century naval chart that marked the site of the sinking. Says McKee: "I was electrified." Using undersea scanning technology developed by Electrical Engineer Harold Edgerton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, McKee found the remains of the Mary Rose buried in a watery depression. For four years the historian and a band of amateur divers dug away, sometimes with their bare hands, until they discovered a Tudor cannon. The resulting publicity brought the money...
