The continuing conflict between the courts and the news media is often said to result from two conflicting constitutional rights-the First Amendment right of the press to be free to publish without censorship and to protect its news sources and the Sixth Amendment right of an accused person to a fair trial.

have compromised press independence; however, government aid has
not improved the circulation of weaker newspapers.

Most of the world's developed countries are now approaching zero population growth, and, if present trends continue, the populations of Europe and Russia will begin to decline at the turn of the century. The population of the United States will stop growing at a total of about 253 million in the year 2015.
The drop in population growth, says Westoff, director of population research at Princeton,...

Such analysis may also help in the diagnosis and treatment of dis- ease. Children with cystic fibrosis, for example, have as much as five times the normal concentrations of sodium in their hair. And victims of juvenile-onset diabetes have below-normal concentrations of chro- mium, suggesting that hair analysis might be used in screening poten- tial diabetics.
The presence or absence of certain amounts of trace elements is also related to certain learning disabilities and mental...

Newborn babies of different ethnic groups exhibit remarkable differ- ences in temperament and behavior.
Freedman, a behavioral scientist at the University of Chicago, and Harvard pediatrician T. Berry Brazelton developed the Cambridge Be- havioral and Neurological Assessment Scales. These are a group of simple tests of basic human reactions that could be administered to any normal newborn in a hospital nursery....

1830, discoveries in geology, physics, biology, and other sciences had begun to challenge traditional British theological beliefs.
These developments soon sparked bitter feuds between clergymen and scientists in late Victorian England. But the real controversy, says Turner, a Yale historian, arose from the professionalization of British science and the struggle for control of education. On one side,...
