He's still the rookie in the field.

A SPECIAL REPORT ON CLONING
One doesn't expect Dr. Frankenstein to show up in wool sweater, baggy parka, soft British accent and the face of a bank clerk. But there in all banal benignity he was: Dr. Ian Wilmut, the first man to create fully formed life from adult body parts since Mary Shelley's mad scientist. The creator wore chinos. ...

Essay: Back to the Future
After a respite of barely a year, with the banality of the refrain still ringing in the ear, "the politics of the future" is back. When Gary Hart announced a fortnight ago that he would retire from the Senate (to run, he all but admitted, for the presidency in 1988), he couldn't lay off the ...

Essay: When Liberty Really Means Neglect
Concern about the homeless usually waits for winter, when the cold weather claims its first victims and a frozen, abandoned death stirs guilt and some compassion. Concern comes early this year. Last week a homeless woman walked into the Wall Street office of a currency-trading firm and shot the owner dead. In August she had ...

Essay: The Bitburg Fiasco
When President Reagan and Chancellor Kohl of West Germany first discussed the idea, it seemed like a good one: a V-E day visit by the President to a cemetery in Germany where American and German soldiers lie side by side. It would be a ceremony of friendship and reconciliation. It has, of course, become a ...

Essay: The Using of Baby Fae
The placing of a baboon heart into the chest of little Baby Fae caused indignation in many quarters. For some, who might safely be called eccentric, the concern was animal rights. Pickets outside Loma Linda University Medical Center and elsewhere protested the use of baboons as organ factories. Dr. Leonard Bailey, the chief surgeon, was ...

Essay: Rectifying the Border
There is probably no question in American life more likely to set off a political rumble than where to locate the line separating church and state. Raise the subject in the middle of an election year and nothing is more certain to inaugurate a festival of hypocrisy. 1984 is no exception. No one is exactly ...

Essay: Pietygate: School for Scandal
If it takes a Hinckley to change the insanity laws and a De Lorean to curtail sting operations, then the case of Geraldine Ferraro may turn out to be a first step back from the piety-in-government excursion Americans have been on since Watergate. One day Ms. Ferraro's vice-presidential candidacy, perhaps her political career, hangs in ...

Essay: Holiday: Living on a Return Ticket
August is holiday time. France heads for the beach, Congress for home, and psychiatry for the asylum of Truro on Cape Cod. What makes for a holiday? Not time off from work. That happens on weekends, and no one calls that a holiday. Nor merely leaving home. That happens on business trips. Ask Willy Loman. ...

Essay: The Moral Equivalent of...
"If he does really think that there is no distinction between I virtue and vice," warns Dr. Samuel Johnson, "why, sir, when he leaves our houses let us count our spoons." Judging by the recent pronouncements of some of our leaders, it is time to start husbanding spoons. Not that anyone in public life denies ...

Essay: The Appeal of Ordeal
William Butler Yeats tells of Icelandic peasants who found a skull in a cemetery and suspected it might be that of the poet Egill. "Its great thickness made them feel certain it was," he writes, but "to be doubly sure they put it on a wall and hit it hard blows with a hammer." When ...

Essay: Pornography Through the Looking Glass
Television ushered in the new year by cracking what it breathlessly billed as "the last taboo": incest. Liberal Minneapolis celebrated by backtracking a couple of taboos and considering a ban on pornography. One would have thought that that particular hang-up had been overcome. But even though the ban voted by the Minneapolis city council was ...

Essay: What Ever Became of the American Center
The death of Senator Henry Jackson has left an empty stillness at the center of American politics. Jackson was the symbol, and the last great leader, of a political tradition that began with Woodrow Wilson and reached its apogee with John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey. That tradition—liberal internationalism—held that if democratic capitalism was ...
