	Whitehead Institute - History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		When the Institute moved from temporary quarters at MIT to the new Whitehead building in the summer of 1984, it was already a thriving research establishment.
		The Whitehead was the core institution for one of the six original National Cooperative Vaccine Development Groups for AIDS (established by the National Institutes of Health to speed the development of an AIDS vaccine), and was emerging as a major center for the newly organized U.S. Human Genome Project.
		One of the reasons behind the meteroic rise of the Whitehead was its ability to support new ideas at the very earliest stage of development—taking a chance on brilliant young scientists eager to extend the boundaries of their chosen fields.

	The Public Eye : Website of Political Research Associates
		John W. Whitehead, head of the Rutherford Institute, has gone to great lengths to conceal the ideological leanings of his Christian Right legal center in statements to the mass media.
		Whitehead consistently puts forward an apocalyptic conspiracist vision of devout Christian activists under concerted attack by corrupt and repressive government officials in the service of godless and immoral secular humanism.
		Yet Whitehead's shift is more tactical rather than a shift in basic ideology, and reflects the trend in the Christian Right toward re-applying the principle of "hating the sin, but loving the sinner," even when the goal is still theocratic and monocultural.

	Biologists cite way to multiply blood stem cells - The Boston Globe
		The new technique, discovered in mouse experiments by biologists at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, uses a cocktail of growth factors to multiply the stem cells up to thirtyfold.
		Zhang's team, working under the direction of Whitehead scientist Harvey F. Lodish, suspected that there are cells in the liver that help the blood stem cells multiply.
		Similar growth factors are found in human livers, and the Whitehead team is organizing a study to see whether they can be used to make human blood stem cells multiply in the lab.
