Dear Admiral Gayler:

   I was very glad to have a chance to talk to you
at the Defense Science Board.  You mentioned something
about wishing to stay in touch, and particularly that
New York might be convenient for you with your family
here.

   I would certainly enjoy that and I suspect that
there is a great deal about this campus, although its
specialty of biomedical research is somewhat removed
from your own, that might strike a resonant chord with
you.  I am enclosing some material that might convey
some of that spirit although the most pertinent item is
now at the printer and I will send it to you in a few
weeks.

   In fact, if it should happen to be convenient for
you to visit us during one of our degignated Evenings
as described on the attached description I would be more
than happy to see you then.  However, please don't fail
to take advantage of any more casual opportunity that
may come your way.

Yours sincerely,

              .

EVENI.NGS AT THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY

   For several years, we have organized "Evenings at The
Rockefeller University" as a vehicle for describing our work
pro bono humani to a wider public.   These informal dinner
meetings have helped us share information about the institu-
tion's scientific and educational activities with leaders of
the-New-York--area's professional, social- -and-civic-communi- --
ties.

   We will hold additional "Evenings" this fall on campus.
including several trustees, faculty members and other guests
invited for each occasion.  The current series has been sched-
uled for Tuesday, October 16, Monday, December 3, 1979, Thurs-
dayI February 28 and Tuesday, April. 22, 1980,from six to '.
ten o'clock.

   Cur'usual format has been as follows:  following a re-
ception and dinner in Abby Aldrich RockefFller Hall, we will
adjourn to Caspary Auditorium where three of the University's
senior scientists and I will discuss highlights of the Univer-
sity's current achievements in applying basic biomedical sci-
ences to the solution of major health problems,  The presenta-
tions are directed to a non-professibnal audience and I be-
lieve you would find them and your company of interest.

More specific information concerning arrangements for the
evening will be sent upon acceptance.

228   FROM  THE  WEST  TO  THE  WEST
Provisions were by this time running short, and the necessity of reaching the settlements was imperative; but there was no appeal from the borderer's experience, and the impatient wayfarers were compelled to remain in camp for four consecutive days and nights, while the excited heavens warred among the serrated steeps, as
" From rock to rock leaped the live thunder."
The storm, which condensed its forces into a deluge of rain at both the eastern and western bases of the Cascade Mountains, had raged as snow in the forest-studded heights; and this, melting rapidly under the sunny skies which succeeded the heavy precipitation, made Barlow's Gap so slippery that the teamsters had to exercise the utmost care in guiding the oxen and to keep their own feet.
Provisions ran lower every day, and finally gave out entirely; and one jolly wayfarer, who had for many weeks professed to be enjoying the prospect of a ten-days' famine, grew so ravenous when compelled to face the reality at the foot of Laurel Hill, that he begged piteously for some coffee-grounds to ease the cravings of his stomach.
The next morning the three girls crossed the raging torrent of the glacial river Sandy by jumping from rock to rock over the roaring and perilous current, and gathered a bountiful supply of salal-berries for the children; but it was almost night before the half-starved men (who would not eat the purple fruit) were met by a packer, who brought beef and flour; and as soon as a fire could be kindled, a meal was made ready.
On the 27th of September the company descended the last long and rocky steep, and halted with a shout at the foot of the mountains on the famous Foster Ranch, where fresh vegetables, milk, cream, and butter were added to the beef and flour on which they had been glad to subsist when necessary.

I believe that technology now provides the means for companies to 
instantly 
 provide all of the information now given to the privileged few to all who 
are 
 interested.  No privileged group should have access to advance information 
 about investments w/o making it available to all.
     
 Those articles I have read defending the present system are really defending 
 the privileged few who now profit from advance information.  In my opinion 
 the SEC should require all information given to an outside investor or agent 
 be made available to the entire investment community within a very short 
 time, preferably one hour or at the most that same day. >>

                         The Sun, New York
                         September 3, 1833
The Sun, New York, of Tuesday, September 3, 1833, is the first
issue, "Number l," of that newspaper.  It was published daily by
Benj.  H. Day, printer, and has been reprinted by later publishers
on various anniversaries: September 3, 1853; 1883; February 27 to
March 7, 1931; September 2, 1933, and others.  Some of the reprints
bear notices to that effect but others are without such notice.
All reprints examined, however, have numerous minor variations from
the original.
     The Library of Congress does not have an original of this
issue.  A comparison of the several reprints in the Library
of Congress with a photostat copy of the original belonging to
the New York Public Library shows that they differ in various
details.  The text of the original reads as follows:
    Page 1, column 1, last line of the masthead has "Three
Dollars" capitalized.
    Page 1, column 1, second advertisement, line 2, "steamboats"
plural.
    Page 1, column 1, second advertisement, line 7, "Captains"
plural.
    Page 1, column 1, third advertisement, line 5, "Catharine" not
"Catherine".
    Page 1, column 1, third advertisement, line 10, "hour"
singular.
    Page 1, column 1, fourth advertisement, line 2, "master" lower
case.
    Page 1, column 1, fourth advertisement, line 4, "captain" lower
case.
    Page 1, column 1, fifth advertisement, line 2, "Tallahassee"
not "Tallahasse".
    Page 1, column 1, sixth advertisement, line 1, "packet ship"
not "Packet ship".
    Page 1, column 2, next to last line, "trible the sum" not
"treble the sum".
    Page 1, column 3, second article, line 2, misspelled
"charriot".
    Page 2, column 1, paragraph 3, line 2, "almshouse" lower case. h)0*0*0*Ԍ    Page 3, column 3, third advertisement, "J. Bleeker & Sons" not
"J. Bleecker & Sons".
     The reprints differ from the original in some if not all of
these details.   Their monetary value is very small.

   Technology, Inc., McLean, VA, appearing for Protester.

                                 ORDER
 
        This  protest  was  filed  on  November  30,   1994,  by  AC
   Technology, Inc., against  the Department of the Air  Force.  The
   procurement in  question is for the acquisition of memory modules
   to  be used in  the Combat Air Force  Workstation employed in the
   Air Operations  Centers.   Protester contends  that the  awardee,
   Dataram  Corporation, does  not  meet  the  requirements  of  the
   solicitation.
 
        On December 8, respondent filed a motion to dismiss for lack
   of jurisdiction  on the ground  that this contract is  subject to
   the Warner Amendment, 10 U.S.C.   2315 (1982), recodified in  the
   Brooks Act,  as amended, 40 U.S.C.   759(a)(3)(C) (Supp. V 1988).
   On  December  9,  upon  "realizing the  critical  nature  of  the
   project,"   protester  withdrew  its  protest  and  asked  for  a
   dismissal without prejudice.  Respondent concurs with protester's
   request.    Accordingly,   this  protest  is  DISMISSED   WITHOUT
   PREJUDICE.  This  dismissal shall convert  to one with  prejudice
   ten working  days from  the date of  this order  unless protester
   moves to  reinstate the  protest prior to  the expiration  of the
   ten-day period.  Rule 28(b).

LIBERTY OR DEATH !NATIVE ARMY.
THE GENERAL IN CHIEF TO THE PEOPLE OF HAYTI.
Citizens,
IT is not enough to have expelled from your country the
barbarians who have for ages stained it with bloodit is not
enough to have curbed the factions which, succeeding each
other by turns, sported with a phantom of liberty which France
exposed to their eyes. It is become necessary, by a last act of
national authority, to ensure for ever the empire of liberty in the
country which has given us birth. It is necessary to deprive an
inhuman government, which has hitherto held our minds in a
state of the most humiliating torpitude, of every hope of being
enabled again to enslave us. Finally, it is necessary to live in-
dependent, or die. Independence or Death ! Let these sacred
words serve to rally uslet them be signals of battle,  and of
our re-union.

day, those courageous chiefs, who, on the eve of receiving the

Dear Committee Members,
I am writing with regard to the September 13-14 meeting of your 
committee at which time the subject of opiate medications in the 
treatment of chronic non-malignant pain is scheduled to be discussed.
I am a neurologist who has been in private practice for almost 30 years. 
I have been working in the area of chronic musculoskeletal and 
neuropathic pain for 25 years. I have treated and presently treat many 
patients who have a condition that is fundamentally uncorrectable and 
that causes chronic disabling pain. This includes certain painful 
neuropathies (that are initially treated with drugs such as 
antiepileptic drugs and antidepressant drugs) as well as chronic 
musculoskeletal pain. Many of the patients that I see have been treated 
by numerous other physicians and come in to our clinic taking 10-30 
tablets of short acting opiates per day (drugs like hydrocodone/APAP or 
oxycodone/APAP). We generally consider these drugs to have a high 
addiction potential, and to often result in dosage escalation, as well 
as providing relief that is too short (as little as 2-3 hours) resulting 
in a dosing schedule that can be as frequent as every 1 or 2 hours in 
some extreme cases.
The long acting or slow release opiates have resulted in the ability to 
develop effective pain relief programs on stable doses of opiates over 
long periods of time without mental clouding, and with pain relief good 
enough to return individuals to productive lives. Many of my patients 
have resumed their role in the family or community and have gratefully 
thanked us for "giving them their life back".
At present there are only 4 drugs that fit the category of long-acting 
or slow release. They are methadone, morphine sulphate oxycodone and 
fentanyl (given as a transdermal patch). Many patients are either 
allergic to one or another of these drugs, or develops nausea 
(especially to morphine) and cannot take one or several of these drugs. 
It is important to have alternative opiates that we can turn to when the 
choice is limited to just 4 drugs.
That one or another of these 4 drugs is abused is a problem that must be 
addressed, but the solution should not be the removal of useful drugs 
from the physicians armamentarium. It would be dreadful to go back to 
the days when pain that could not be treated led to suicide (as it did 
in some of my patients), or simply to withdrawel from life.
Robert Gerwin, M.D.

SAM-radical enzymes

Yurii Chinenov

Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Michigan Medical Center 4556
MSRBII, 1150 W. Medical Center Dr. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-0650

The SAM radical enzymes utilize S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as the source of
catalytically active deoxyadenosyl radical and are involved in a wide range
of reactions including oxidation, oxidative cyclization, C- and P-
methylation, isomerization and protein radical formation. Based on the
sequence similarities of core catalytic domains SAM radical enzymes could
be subdivided into four classes. PFL-like enzymes (PflA, PflX, AtsB, NrdG,
MoaA-like and PqqE-like) and catalyze various reactions of carbon chains
reorganization (cyclization,
isomerization) or protein radical formation. BioB-related enzymes (BioB,
LipA and ThiH) are involved in the formation of C-S bonds in various
sulfur-containing cofactors. HemN-related proteins (HemN, HemZ and
Elp3-related
acetyltransferases) participate in reactions of atypical oxidative
de-carboxylation. At last, MiaB-related proteins (MiaB, BchE and MmcD)
combine various unusual C- and P-methylases and enzymes involved in
methylthiolation of modified nucleosides in tRNAs. So far, no information
about 3D structure of SAM radical enzymes is available. Based on the remote
homology between the putative SAM binding domain and haloacid dehalogenase
it is likely that SAM catalytic core assumes Rossman-like fold. Core
SAM-radical domain is often combined with other domain such as GNAT histone
acetyltransferase, TRAM, CheY-like receiver domain, flavodoxin-like domain.
The functional implication of multidomain organization of SAM radical
enzymes is discussed. ~

Twelve years after the discovery of the top quark at Fermilab's
Tevatron, we are finally beginning to shed light on this peculiarly
massive quark.  With 1-1.7 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by
the CDF detector, we are able to probe our knowledge of the top quark
physics, and to search for signals of physics beyond the Standard Model.
In this paper, we present results of measurements of top quark properties,
as well as tests for the production mechanism of the top quark.  We also
describe CDF latest searches for beyond Standard Model couplings of
the top quark.  Finally, we present the most recent searches for direct
production of new particles in the collected data samples.

wildlife within the lower Rio Grande valley Texas USA: Environmental Pollution,
v. 45, no. 3, p. 207-220.
Abstract: 
Brushland wildlife within the Lower Rio Grande Valley of south Texas were
studied following applications of eleven insecticides to nearby sugarcane or cotton
fields. During the study no wildlife were found dead. Mean brain
acetycholinesterase (AChE) activity of great-tailed grackles (Quiscalus
mexicanus) and mourning doves (Zenaida microura) was significantly lower than
controls following application of some organophosphorus insecticides. Brain
AChE activity varied significantly among chemicals, days after exposure and
lactin rates. Mean brain AChE activity of white-winged doves (Zenaida asiatica)
and three small mammals species was not significantly different than their
respective control following application of the insecticides. Mean brain AChE
activity of grackles was inhibited significantly more than white-winged doves
after application of Bolstar, EPN-methyl parathion, and Azodrin and significantly
more than that of mourning doves after applications of Bolstar and EPN-methyl
parathion. Our data indicate that there were no adverse effects on most brushland
wildlife. Exposure was probably dependent upon use of the agricultural fields as
feeding or resting site and only grackles and mourning doves were regularly
present in the fields.

SEPARATE STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN MICHAEL POWELL

Re:	Revision of the Commission's Rules To Ensure Compatibility with Enhanced 911 
Emergency Calling Systems, Request for Waiver by Cingular Wireless LLC, Sprint 
Spectrum L.P. d/b/a Spring PCS, Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless Services, Inc., Nextel 
Communications, Inc.

	I am disappointed and unsatisfied with the progress we have made, thus far, on 
Phase II E911 rules.  I know and respect that carriers have made concerted strides in this 
area, but those efforts must be re-doubled.  It goes without saying that there is a new 
sense of urgency around using mobile phones as important safety devices.  They have 
become indispensable tools for calling for help and for delivering help.  

Thankfully, we are only at the beginning of the implementation of this process 
and not at the end.   I am committed to reaching that end with full and unqualified 
success.  Today, we accept revised implementation plans from some of the major carriers.  
We initiate enforcement investigations with regard to others.  All these decisions are 
designed to pursue single-mindedly one objective: the full availability of enhanced 911 
by the original deadline established by the Commission.  Given that this service can save 
lives, I trust that the carriers, the manufacturers and public safety authorities will work 
tirelessly to get this service to people as soon before that deadline as possible.  It is not 
good enough to go for a gentleman's "C." This test requires an "A+" effort.

	I look forward to working with my colleagues, the public safety community, the 
carriers and their suppliers, Congress and other governmental agencies, including the 
Department of Transportation, on exploring ways to ensure and facilitate the successful 
nationwide deployment of E911.
Travels over Land
the City of tfaunkoton, lately built, and encompaffed with Earthen
Walls, well lined, and covered on the outfide with MafTy Timber.
The Inhabitants of this City, and the fix large Southern Villages fub-
ordinate to it, are calFd Daori or Old Dauri; and at prefent this Country
is called Dorif by the Tartars which inhabit all along the River Nauna
and Jallo to Albazin.   Thefe People have very rich manured Lands
and all forts of Garden Fruits, and feveral Tobacco Plantations; but
their Religion is downright Impious and Diabolical; for according
to their own report they are all Schamwans, or Conjurers^ which in-
voke the Devil.   Several Neighbours of both Sexes, frequently af-
femble together about Midnight j one of them lies with his Body
extended on the Earth, and the by-ftanders with united and exalted
Voices make a difmal howl: others beat on a fort of Drpms; which
ceafing for a fmall interval,  the howl is renewed,   and fometimes
lafts for two Hours,  until he that lies on the Earth, feems returned
to his Senfes, and after a tedious howling, rifes up and relates where
he hath been, and what he hath feen and heard j after which whatever
any of the Company are defirous to be informed of concerning future
events, or other particulars,  is propofed to him ; and while J ftaid
there,  no Night pafled without this hideous howling of thefe Dia-
bolical Minifters.
They keep their Dead three Days in their Houfes, then bury the
Corps in a hiigh-raifed Grave in the Gardens or Fields; after which it is
daily vifited by Relations of the deceafed, a hole being left open at
the head, to which place they bring the Dead all forts of Vidhmls
and Drink, conveying thefe edibles by a Spoon made for that pur-
pofe to the very Mouth of the deceafed $ but leave the Drink {land-
ing in fmall Tin Cups around the Grave: this practice lafts for feveral
Weeks, which ended they bury the ftinking Carkais deeper in the
Earth.
They live in Houfes of Clay or Earth, covered with Reeds or fmall
Bamboes, fomewhat like the Peafants thatched Houfes in Europe.
The Walls on the infide are partly white, being plaiftered with Lime.
The middle of the Houfe is furniftied with an ere&ed Pillar, about
which are wound the Entrails of Beafts, by which are hung a little
Bow and Arrows, Pikes and other Arms; to all this they fometimes
by bowing and proftrations, pay an Idolatrous fort of Worlhip. Their
Houfes are not partitioned into Chambers, nor have they any Garrets;

NASA HELPS LIFT SPACE SHUTTLE RETURN TO FLIGHT EFFORTS
NASA engineers continue to acquire data on how insulating foam debris
behaves when shed from the Space Shuttle's external fuel tank during
launch. NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force
Base, Calif., is conducting a series of flight tests of the debris,
known as divots, as part of the Return to Flight team effort.
The Lifting Insulating Foam Trajectory (LIFT) flight test series at
Dryden is using the research center's F-15B jet Research Testbed
aircraft to test divots at speeds up to approximately twice the speed
of sound (Mach 2).
Small divots pop off the external tank when the Thermal Protection
System (TPS) foam fails. This occurs as a result of decreasing
atmospheric pressure combined with increased heating during Shuttle
ascent causing air trapped beneath the TPS to expand.
"We're using the unique capabilities of the supersonic F-15B and the
aerodynamic flight test fixture to provide a means to eject these
divots from the fixture. We record them with a high speed digital
video system. We're able to record the divots in flight at up to
10,000 frames per second," LIFT project manager Stephen Corda said.
Aeroscience engineer Ricardo Machin of NASA's Johnson Space Center,
Houston, said, "The LIFT flight tests will help validate the models
used for debris transport analysis." "In particular, it's going to
help us understand whether the divots break up once they come off the
external tank, and secondly whether they will trim and begin to fly,
or if they'll tumble. The difference between trimming and flying
makes a huge difference in the amount of kinetic energy debris can
impart to the Shuttle," Machin said.
The LIFT flight test required two new capabilities: an in-flight foam
divot ejection system, and a high-speed video system to track and
record the trajectories of the divots in flight. Both capabilities
were developed by Dryden engineers in just over two months.
Dryden's LIFT team designed, fabricated, and ground-tested four
different divot ejection systems, completing 70 ground tests to
determine and refine the best approach. They designed and procured
the very high-speed digital video equipment, including development of
a system to synchronize the cameras with the divot ejection system,
and they developed videography analysis techniques to quantify divot
trajectories.

To the Editor
The New York Times
229 Nest 43rd Street
New York, New York 10036

Dear Sir:

Your editorial (October 22) on The'Presidential Issue states that "the
President and his men have injected into national lffe a new and
unwelcome element -- fear of government repression, a few reminiscent
of that bred by the McCarthyism of twenty years ago." The truth of
your statement has been brought horn to me in a distressing way in the
Iad few weeks, tihlle collecting signatures for an advertisement against
the Nixon administration.  Several distinguished members of the scientific
community expressed the fear that by signing they mjght jeopardize the
approval of pending applications for research grants from the govern-
menti At least one well-known scientist, after having signed, asked
that his signature be removed for that reason.

If we have reached such a state of intimidation, people should realize
what this means, not only in terms of government corruption, but also
and more importantly in terms of corruption of the public by this
administration.  There is every reason to fear that four more years of
it may pl,unge our nation, from a degrading fear of government repression
to a state of utter corruption and demoralization.
