To tolerate others, according to The AmericanHeritage Dictionary, means, on the one hand, to recognize and respect them, their beliefs or practices, withoutnecessarily agreeing or sympathizing with them. On the other hand, the word can mean to put up with or bear withothers, though you may 12 them, because some force, such as the law, requires that you do so. It seems to me thatpeople often pretend to use the first meaning of the word when they really have in mind the second meaning. In suchcases, people are 13 when they use the word, and I do not admire them. They pretend respect for others, but inreality they are merely putting up with them. It is 14 they were saying, “Behave yourself and I will be graciousenough to permit you to exist.” Does anyone have the right to be that gracious, I wonder? The idea can beexpressed 15 , “If you will accept my superiority, I will tolerate you.” With such an attitude, the word toleranceimplies a sense of inequality that is unacceptable to me. Because the word is ambiguous and often used in an insultingmanner, I often wonder what people mean when they use it, and I sometimes think we would be better off without theword.

Grueneberg thought it was just a nerve ending. Only inthe last few years did scientists realize that the Grueneberg ganglion is a component of the olfactory system. But they still didnot know what the ganglion smelled. Recently, researchers in Switzerland report that they have figured it out.All sorts of organisms, including plants, insects, and mammals, release “alarm pheromones” when they sense danger;the pheromones waft through the air to warn others. Very little is known about the alarm pheromones of mammals other thanthat they exist. Nonetheless, the Swiss scientists could collect the pheromones by simply stressing mice and sucking up theair around them.When other normal mice were exposed to the danger-scented air, they froze in their tracks. But mice whose Gruenebergganglia had been removed did not notice anything wrong and continued to wander around their cages without a care in theworld.
Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?
