...time I met Jomo Kenyatta, who let me read the papers which later were published in "Facing Mt. Kenya." For the first time I learned about female circumcision, but it was never my subject. About 30 years later a paper on Female Infibulation was published in Studia Ethnographica Upaliensia XX, 1964. The author is Professor C.G. Widstrand, Director of the Nordic Africa Institute. His well documented paper has what Dr. Counter calls "explicit photographic materials on violence against women(and children)"--Dr. Counter should demand that this documentation be removed from the Harvard University Library and burned! To his outbursts...
...from An Unmarried Woman or the French nymphets in One Sings, the Other Doesn't. While directors no longer trumpet forth about making black films, many still want to make women movies. Ritt escapes this well-intentioned pot-hole by creating a central figure who's got not only XX chromosomes but grit and brains as well...
...almost a replay of the Cornell loss, when Harvard, while passing for big yardage, was outrushed 307-xx. Yet in both games, the offense produce big points...
...sometimes an infant's chromosomal sex will not match its outward appearance. There are, for example, people with a female XX chromosome makeup who display pronounced male sexual development. Wachtel discovered why. Analyzing the blood of these individuals, he found that their chromosomes apparently contained a hidden male factor-a variant of the same signal found in normal males. In the first few weeks after conception, when the embryo is still sexually neutral, the signal causes the development of testes, a source of male hormones. In the case of the XX males, however, the male factor, apparently consisting...
...between chromosomes while the sperm are being produced in the father's testes. In any case, the test has already been put to important clinical use. At New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, for example, a two-year-old child with an enlarged clitoris but a seemingly normal XX chromosome pattern was tested for H-Y antigen. The assay turned out positive, and subsequent surgery revealed the reason: she was a hermaphrodite, with dual sexual organs-an ovary on one side and a combination of ovary and testis on the other. The doctors promptly removed the ovotestis, thereby reducing...
