Macy Koehlor, University biohazards officer, last week issued a directive asking recombinant DNA researchers to use a more thorough experimental procedure which involves cleaning the glassware in acid to rid it of any DNA remnants...
...headed north told me the main thing about Frisco was how mellow it is. Maybe it's the natural environment, or the Spanish legacy, or the peculiar effect of its Gold Rush origin, or simply all those people up there who've destroyed their brain cells with acid, but the city certainly seems mellow, with a capital laid back. Somehow the country forgot to tell Frisco that the Right-on Sixties had become the New Mood Seventies, so like the Japanese hiding in the jungles fighting world war II to this day, San Francisco bounces anachronistically on, retaining the feeling...
...people who believe they are the fulfillment of a Hopi prophecy that said five generations after the white men destined to live in harmony with the great Spirit of the Earth. Karma, reincarnation, natural foods, meditation, tai chi, buddhism, astrology, yin and yang, ecology, TM, astral projection, cosmic consciousness, acid--anything spiritual or far out and freaky was right on with these people.

...basic part of chemical knowledge. Thus, because the will of Dynamite Inventor Alfred Nobel limited Nobel Prizes to "recent" discoveries, Mendeleev did not qualify. A Nobel historian later called the Mendeleev decision a regrettable error. More recently, Rockefeller Institute Biochemist O.T. Avery, who demonstrated in 1944 that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the carrier of heredity, was first denied a prize because of skepticism about his claims. His death permanently excluded him from the Nobel roster; the award cannot be granted posthumously. Later, Nobel officials announced their regret at having rejected Avery...
...music and white music, added some rhythm he had learned growing up in the Pentecostal church, swiveled his hips, put his heart into it, and started the rock rolling. The story starts before rock'n roll became an American institution, before it splintered into hard rock, bubble gum rock, acid rock, punk rock, jazz-rock, folk-rock, and that most castrated form of rock, if it can be called rock at all--disco. By the time I got on the bus this summer there was really little left of the original rock'n roll. When Elvis first sang...
