Prof. Etzioni Tackles Challenging Genetics

In a chapter that poses the
question "What Are They
Brewing for Us?", in his
"Genetic Fix," (Macmillan),
Prof. Amitai Etzioni of Co-
lumbia University makes
this comment:
"From the thirties until
quite recently, in reaction to
Nazi racist theories and in
response to the struggle of
blacks and other minorities
for social equality, biological
factors have been played
down and the role of educa-
tion and equality of oppor-
tunities have been stressed.
In recent years, though, with
the conservative backlash,
the question of whether cer-
tain races and inherently in-
ferior has been resurrected."
kling this and many
ar questions and ex-
posing many fallacies, Prof.
r' Etzioni shows how the gene-
tic revolution operates, the
advances that have been
made scientifically, what
they do to the genes and to
brain chemistry.
Many vital questions are
posed by Prof. Etzioni, such
as: "If you plan to have an-

O

other child, do you know the
steps you can take now to
help it be normal? . . . If
you want your next child to
be a boy or a girl, do you
know the necessary steps to
achieve the desired result?
. . As a citizen, should you
approve, disregard or oppose
experiments to grow babies
in test tubes? . ."
On these and many more
problems confronting man-
kind, Prof. Etzioni sees need
for a double antidote, "a
stimulant to energize the
passive members of the com-
munity, who allow science
to shape society to suit what-
ever developments the test
tubes happen to yield, and a
mild tranquilizer for those
who hysterically reject all
technological advances."
"The abstract terms of
sociology, psychology or
political science cannot fully
express the problems raised
by the new advances in
biological and medical re-
search," Dr. Etzioni states.
"If more people, who give a
damn, will inform themselves
about these issues, they in

turn will be able to educate
the general public and help
it act on these matters —
matters too vital to be left
to the experts or to any gov-
ernment."
His analyses of the nu-
merous experiments on the
issues he raises make the
Etzioni book especially in-
structive.

Nazism Exposed in Egleton
Novel 'The Bormann Brief'

Martin Bormann was select-
ed by Adolf Hitler to be his
political heir. There is still
a search for him and it has
been said that he is in hiding
somewhere in Latin America.
Much has been written about
him, and a novel relating to
him is of great interest as an-
other expose of Nazism.
Clive Egleton does that in
"The Bormann Brief" (a
Coward, McCann and Geogh-
egan novel). Is there a lesson
for future generations from
experiences of the past? At
the very outset Egleton pre-
sents a challenge by quoting,
as an introduction to the
opening section of the book,
from the 1765 speech of Pat-
rick Henry in the Virginia
Convention:
"Caesar had his B'rutus-
Charles the First, his Crom-
well—and George the Third
—(`Treason, cried the Speak-
er)—may profit by their ex-
ample. If this be treason,
make the most of it." -
