Manipulation of genes in human beings on a large scale is not possible under present conditions because it lacks economic potential and other attractions for industry. However, preventive'' genetic engineering may be a field for vast research in the future and will perhaps be approved by governments, parishes, people and industry. (PS)

Describes a computer program used at a genetic stock center to locate particular strains of bacteria. The program can match up to 30 strain descriptions requested by a researcher with the records on file. Uses of this particular program can be made in many fields. (PS)

Models from evolutionary theory and inbreeding analysis are used to illustrate applications of probability, statistics, sequences, calculus, and matrix theory to genetics. (MM)

Describes gene infusion, the continual replacement of genes for insecticide susceptibility into insect populations, to control the level of resistant genes in pest populations. (AL)

Describes an approach to teaching the Hardy-Weinberg Law in high school genetics class. Instructional procedures used help in developing this concept in broad generalization form rather than merely a mathematical model of a gene pool. (PS)

Nine males with Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY) and seven XYY males, located primarily in prisons and psychiatric hospitals, were administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. (Author/KW)

A genetic survey of mongolism in Serbia (Yugoslavia) is presented. Chromosomes of 616 subjects are examined for the survey. (CD)

Examines the competing claims of safe" radiation levels from nuclear power plants and analyzes some of the arguments used by protagonists and antagonists. Claims that the real question, Why more power?", is becoming obscured. (AL)

Summarizes the diagnostic evaluation of one prepubescent male with the double Y syndrome and suggests a need to investigate further the biochemical, physiological, and genetic roles underlying such gross behavioral abnormalities. (WY)

Advocates the study of the history of science as a means of relating science to other academic fields. Discusses the limitations of the case history approach. Suggests introductory science courses coupled with a history of science course. Indicates how a unit on the historyof genetics could fit into a history of science course and relate to an…

Indicates why selective breeding for intelligence is biologically practical and suggests that positive eugenics is the only answer now available to our need for more intelligence. Procedure does not seem immoral. Quotes H. J. Muller's values to be recognized in eugenic planning." Does not prescribe program. (AL)

Suggests, as a practical measure, that beyond providing equal educational opportunity, intellectually gifted children ought to be sought out and treated as seriously as tennis stars are. The relationship of genetics to achievement is discussed. (DM)
