Died. C. Douglass Welch, 61, portly good-humor man, whose nationally syndicated column, "The Squirrel Cage," appeared in 32 newspapers around the country; of a heart attack; in Seattle. With a combination of humor and an acid pen, Welch attacked the wrongs of the world, created "Happy" Digby, whose bouts with small-town authority were followed by Saturday Evening Post readers for more than 14 years...
...into Harvard each year than any other school. Now the slack on the cultural lag has pulled tight for those two schools; and while they glimpse the development of political activism on their campuses, their students are trying out the tragi-comic scene of dropping, blowing, and shooting pot, acid, hash, speed, belladonna, sunflower seeds, airplane glue, freon, Benzedrex Inhaler tubes, Paragoric Pall Malls, Romilar, and Dr. Schein's Asmador Powder...

...that J. D. Watson and company have outlined their construction manual for DNA (deoxribonucleic acid), the carrier of genetic information for all cells, many scientists agree that the best target for further research is RNA (ribonucleic acid). The cell copies specific genetic instructions from the DNA into RNA and then transports the RNA from the nucleus to the cytolpasm. It has not yet been determined how the cell chooses which information to copy and how the RNA is transmitted...
...brain's RNA and protein production are originally determined by deoxyribonucleic acid (the DNA of Biochemist James Watson's bestselling The Double Helix) that is established in the embryo by the sex cells at the time of conception. There is evidence, said Hydén, that the DNA in an old animal differs from that in a young one-and the same is true, presumably, in man. Here, Hydén opened the door a chink for a glimpse into an admittedly farout future. If a reasonably pure extract of brain DNA is injected into some animals...
