...Rat-Tat-Tat. After the experiences of Newark, Detroit and other cities, blacks are painfully aware that riots can be disastrously counterproductive. Some time ago, Chicago's Rev. Jesse Jackson observed sardonically: "Blacks can't win a shooting war when they are talking about bang-bang and the whites are talking about rat-tat-tat-tat-tat and boom-boom-boom." One of the most powerful arguments that black leaders quite properly use to discourage rioting is that violence would only bring about a renewed right-wing backlash, cancel much of the move toward moderation that was evident...
...crucial question Stone posed was, "If this happens on a rat, will it happen on a human?" Data is just recently starting to be collected through surveys of parents who have had retarded children...
...HYDÉN'S RAT experiments demonstrated, RNA itself does not store memories; instead, it may play an intermediary role, stimulating the brain to produce proteins that are perhaps the actual repositories of memory. In one experiment inspired by that theory, University of Michigan Biochemist Bernard Agranoff taught goldfish to swim over a barrier, then injected them with puromycin, an antibiotic that prevents protein synthesis. When the injection was given hours after learning, it had no effect, suggesting that memory proteins had already formed. Injected just before or just after training, the drug prevented learning...
Abdication Announcement. He became the superstar of films, records, TV and the casinos of Las Vegas. He took over the Rat Pack. It is said that at a Democratic conclave once, he was affectionately greeted by Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, whom he told to "take your hands off the threads, creep."

Both voices seem to agree that the prison should be called sex, but after that they diverge radically. One voice (really, many voices), the voice of the Women's Liberation Movement, has been making itself heard for over a year now. But until recently, the voice of the ideological opposition has only rumbled intermittently on talk shows and in Playboy interviews. Finally, Harper's magazine has allowed Norman Mailer to speak his piece on life inside the prison...
