...Wiesel, professor of Neurobiology, and Dr. Elio Raviola, professor of Anatomy at the Medical School, did experiments in which they forced monkeys to read, and found that they quickly developed myopia. Dr. J. Wallman at New York University discovered that chickens, when forced with blinders to look straight ahead instead of sideways as they normally do, also become near-sighted. These results indicate that myopia can be induced. Further, because the animals' eyes degenerated at similar rates, which can be computed mathematically, McMahon and Greene deduced that the answer might lie in mechanics...
Finally, there is what the economists call the "opportunity cost" to consider. The opportunity cost is what you lose by making one choice instead of another. Simply stated, HIID could have had somebody much better. Instead of a man who would make the HIID a "moral leper," in the words of one, it could have had someone with greater sensitivity to the ethical questions that are the daily fare of the developmental adviser...
SALT II was in deep trouble because the hawks in the Senate and the Administration had refused to accept the basic tenet of the treaty--equality in nuclear arms and security--and instead insisted on the maintenance of U.S. superiority. They, once again, claimed a new "missile gap," forcing the President, even during the SALT ratification procedures, to agree to a substantial budgetary increase for new weapons and to commit the government to the production and deployment of the MX missile system. The really frightening thing about the new stage in the nuclear arms race, and it is just this...
...would restrict the Soviets from adding new multiple warheads to their large SS-18 missile and the United States from embarking on the production and deployment of the MX missile system. An important irony of the nuclear arms race is that more weapons do not give greater security, but instead add to instability. Each side has moved beyond the number of missiles that a rational system of defense would require, and instead has built--one goaded on by the other--nuclear arsenals which, if ever used, would be incredibly destructive. The frightening thing about the present crises is the resultant...
...goes down on him, Pacino's passion rises as the throbbing Village theme invades his senses. The sequence arouses, perhaps in a trite or superficial way, a heterosexual's most basic fear of homosexuality: are the physical aspects of this act really any different when performed by a man instead of a woman...
