...Wolfe wreaks havoc with the old, comfortable under/over thirty dichotomy. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test--published simultaneously last summer with The Pump House Gang, his second collection of essays--established Wolfe as the Boswell of acid beside Ken Kesey's Doctor Johnson. The book's ecstatic, exploding prose reads like the litany of a convert. Yet while he sees Kesey's Merry Pranksters as the hippie prototypes of an increasing search for religious experience in America, Wolfe himself felt no personality change during his contact with them. Unlike Mailer, Wolfe appears to have preserved the distinction between participant...
Under normal circumstances, one liberates oneself through quiet thought or tremendous internal crises. Loud acid rock may help some people, it may hinder others...
...emphasis on quality has paid off. KPFK has won awards for its documentaries on Martin Luther King and the 1965 Watts riot. On all three stations, nearly half the program day is reserved for news and public affairs; music selections range from Bach cantatas in the morning to acid rock after midnight...
...Beads of Acid. Because these molecules occur in such enormous variety in the body, scientists can rarely get a large quantity of any single antibody from normal individuals. But one form of cancer of the antibody-forming cells, multiple myeloma, causes proliferation of cells that then mass produce a pure gamma globulin that is unique to each patient. From a cooperative myeloma victim, the Rockefeller researchers obtained samples of blood and processed it to extract the globulin antibody. The remaining blood was returned to the donor. In H years, they got what by molecular standards is a huge amount...
...antibody molecule is a protein, made up of chains of amino acids, of which there are 20 varieties. In 31 years of detailed work, the Edelman team learned by chemical and physical analysis that this particular molecule contains 19,996 atoms (of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur) grouped in 1,320 amino-acid units, which in turn are assembled with the aid of chemical bonds into two "light" chains of 214 amino acids apiece and two "heavy" chains of 446 each (see diagram). Schematically, the four chains, in which the acids are strung like beads, look like a letter...
