These scientists position on the topic of chemical mutagens framed a distinctly minority opinion within the postwar genetics community. Despite Muller s and Lederberg s authority as Nobel laureates and the tendency of both to use their awards as bully pulpits, early attempts to raise public and scientific awareness must have been too distant from the practical and theoretical interests of mainstream genetics to elicit much response, vocal or otherwise.4 Viewed within the context of the radiation fallout controversy, these were modest and sporadic efforts by concerned individuals and not, as would later become the case, collective organizational responses. [Pg.52]

Meanwhile Napoleon s brilliant victories in Europe were beginning to pose a threat to England s Baltic hemp suppliers. If Napoleon defeated Russia, England would no longer have a reliable hemp source. In desperation, she once again turned to Canada. Promises of seventy pounds per ton and 300 acres of land were made to anyone who would raise five tons of hemp in a year. To make sure these offers were heard throughout the country, they were issued from church pulpits immediately after services were concluded. Yet, even with these substantial inducements, little hemp ever made its way from Canada to England. [Pg.53]

The UN has no army. It relies on the voluntary contribution of troops and other personnel to halt conflicts that threaten peace and security. The United States and other Member States on the Security Council decide when and where to deploy peacekeeping troops. Long-term conflicts, such as those in the Sudan and Kashmir, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, fester while conflicting national priorities deadlock the UN s ability to act. hi fact, if stymied by the veto, the organization has little power beyond the buUy pulpit. The United States and the United Kingdom have... [Pg.34]

In entering upon the great work before us, we anticipate no small amount of misconception, misrepresentation, and ridicule but we shall use every instrumentality within our power to effect our object. We shall employ agents, circulate tracts, petition the State and National legislatures, and endeavor to enlist the pulpit and the press in our behalf. We hope this Convention will be followed by a series of Conventions embracing every part of the country. [Pg.613]
