In August of 1587 Manteo, an Indian from Croatoan Island, joined a group of English settlers in an attack on the native village of Dasemunkepeuc, located on the coast of present-day North Carolina. These colonists, amongst whom Manteo lived, had landed on Roanoke Island less than a month before, dumped there by a pilot more interested in hunting Spanish prize ships than in carrying colonists to their intended place of settlement along the Chesapeake Bay. The colonists had hoped to re-establish peaceful relations with area natives, and for that reason they relied upon Manteo to act as an interpreter, broker, and intercultural diplomat. The legacy of Anglo-Indian bitterness remaining from Ralph Lane's military settlement, however, which had hastily abandoned the island one year before, was too great for Manteo to overcome. The settlers found themselves that summer in the midst of hostile Indians.

Moralistic Punishment

Abstract. The present study serves to test how positive and negative appearance-based expectations affect cooperation and punishment. Participants played a prisoner’s dilemma game with partners who either cooperated or defected. Then they were given a costly punishment option: They could spend money to decrease the payoffs of their partners. Aggregated over trials, participants spent more money for punishing the defection of likable-looking and smiling partners compared to punishing the defection of unlikable-looking and nonsmiling partners, but only because participants were more likely to cooperate with likable-looking and smiling partners, which provided the participants with more opportunities for moralistic punishment. When expressed as a conditional probability, moralistic punishment did not differ as a function of the partners’ facial likability. Smiling had no effect on the probability of moralistic punishment, but punishment was milder for smiling in comparison to nonsmiling partners.

SummaryTiclopidine and its potent analogue, clopidogrel, are powerful inhibitors of ADP-induced platelet aggregation. In order to improve the understanding of this ADP-selectivity, we studied the effect of these compounds on PGE1-stimulated adenylate cyclase and on the inhibition of this enzyme by ADP, epinephrine and thrombin. Neither drug changed the basal cAMP levels nor the kinetics of cAMP accumulation upon PGEj-stimulation in rat or rabbit platelets, which excludes any direct effect on adenylate cyclase or on cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. However, the drop in cAMP levels observed after addition of ADP to PGEr stimulated control platelets was inhibited in platelets from treated animals. In contrast, the drop in cAMP levels produced by epinephrine was not prevented by either drug in rabbit platelets. In rat platelets, thrombin inhibited the PGEX-induced cAMP elevation but this effect seems to be entirely mediated by the released ADP. Under these conditions, it was not surprising to find that clopidogrel also potently inhibited that effect of thrombin on platelet adenylate cyclase. In conclusion, ticlopidine and clopidogrel selectively neutralize the ADP inhibition of PGEr activated platelet adenylate cyclase in rats and rabbits.

SummaryIn the course of studying the effects on platelets of the oxidant species superoxide (O- 2), Of was generated by the interaction of xanthine oxidase plus xanthine. Surprisingly, gel-filtered platelets, when exposed to xanthine oxidase in the absence of xanthine substrate, were found to generate superoxide (O- 2), as determined by the reduction of added cytochrome c and by the inhibition of this reduction in the presence of superoxide dismutase.In addition to generating Of, the xanthine oxidase-treated platelets display both aggregation and evidence of the release reaction. This xanthine oxidase induced aggreagtion is not inhibited by the addition of either superoxide dismutase or cytochrome c, suggesting that it is due to either a further metabolite of O- 2, or that O- 2 itself exerts no important direct effect on platelet function under these experimental conditions. The ability of Of to modulate platelet reactions in vivo or in vitro remains in doubt, and xanthine oxidase is an unsuitable source of O- 2 in platelet studies because of its own effects on platelets.
