Surveys show public has mixed feelings about welfare
Article Abstract:
A review of public opinion surveys that was conducted by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health has examined Americans' goals for the US welfare program. The American public wants recipients to leave the welfare rolls within two years and have jobs to support themselves. In addition, the public wants the configuration of the welfare program to insulate children from harm. Finally, Americans do not want welfare financing to come from raised taxes or other government programs. Researchers believe that these are conflicting goals, and that public's current emphasis on cost cutting will be balanced in the near future by an awareness of social responsibility to the poor.

Walther Lob, Stanley L. Miller and prebiotic "building blocks" in the silent electrical discharge
Article Abstract:
Walther Lob, a German chemist, found glycine in the silent electrical discharge and deserves credit. His work dealt with assimilation of carbon dioxide and nitrogen leading to formation of protein. Stanley L. Miller is usually given credit for being the first to find amino acids in a prebiotic experiment. He acknowledged in his 1995 paper that turn-of-the-century biochemists, Lob in particular, used the silent electric discharge to study electrochemistry of gases in studying fixation/assimilation of nitrogen and carbon dioxide in plants, then studied formation of natural protein.
