| | Rational containment on recombinant DNA 90
The US National Institutes of Health has recommended that all recombinant DNA experiments, involving any animal virus, should be subject to the highest containment conditions, even though other work with the intact virus may require less stringent conditions. Lennart Philipson, of the Department of Microbiology, Uppsala University, Sweden, and Pierre Tiollais, of the Institut Pasteur, Paris, put forward the case for categorising recombinant DNA experiments involving animal viruses more rationally.

| | USSR 95
PROFESSOR Veniamin Levich was dismissed from his post at Moscow University in 1972 as a result of his application for a visa to emigrate to Israel. He had done definitive work in a number of fields including electrochemistry and physicochemical hydrodynamics. A number of Soviet scientists working in related fields were invited to attend a conference in Oxford to celebrate his 60th birthday. All declined. Extensive extracts from a letter explaining the Soviet attitude, and from a reply from Sir Derek Barton, Chairman of the Conference Committee, and Professor D. B. Spalding, Conference Organiser, appear below
