...Hilleman's group reasoned that since it seems to be the nucleic acid in the virus' core that provokes natural interferon output, something like a harmless form of nucleic acid might stimulate the increased production they were seeking. They tested helenine, extracted from a mold related to those that make penicillin and already known to have antiviral properties (though no one then knew why). Extraordinarily complex extraction procedures yielded a pure ribonucleic acid (RNA). But this was no ordinary RNA, such as occurs in the cores of many viruses in molecules of single strands. This proved...
Promising Prospects. The Merck virologists tried other kinds of nucleic acid: single-stranded RNA, doublestranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and substances containing proteins. None worked. Then they took two groups of nucleic acid components. Alone, neither of these had worked, but when they were combined in what turned out to be a multi-stranded RNA, the protective effect for infected mice was about the same as that conferred...
...Love-ins tells the tale of a professor (Richard Todd) who resigns his post to spread the gospel of love and acid among some unaccountably scrubbed-looking Hashbury hippies. A leary disciple shoots him dead at a rally in a stadium packed with flower folk at a $5 admission tab. Among other implausibilities: a psychedelic-balletic version of Alice in Wonderland...

...thus to such sentiments as "All you need is love," which is now the main Beatle theme. If the Beatles ever became drug bards ("Day Tripper" and so on), it may be his fault. Or not so much his fault as his dentist's, who one evening slipped some acid into the Beatle's after-dinner coffee, sending them on their first trip. At any rate, drugs are not likely to become a Beatle obsession because, as Harrison told the Los Angeles Free Press last week, "Acid is not the answer, definitely not the answer. It's enabled people...
