...scientists, Clifford Frondel and Elso Barghoorn of Harvard Hurley, Klaus Biemann and of Harvard Hurley, Klaus Biemann and Gene Simmons of M.I.T. and Dr. John Wood of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, were chosen on the basis of proposals submitted by them to NASA and judged by a team of experts. Approximately 150 investigators were approved, according to previous work in minerology, geology and related fields...
...they are doing it to prevent Nixon from being elected," declares Columbia Sovietologist Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Humphrey adviser. "And you can say they are doing it because they think that if he's elected, tensions will increase." "They are concerned," adds Yale Political Scientist Frederick Barghoorn, "about creating pressure against anyone who is for a hard-line American policy. If they could swing a couple hundred thousand votes against Nixon, they would do it." Other Kremlinologists doubt, however, that the Russians would base their policy on so uncertain a premise...
...Three months after Siegel's discovery, Harvard Paleontologist Elso S. Barghoorn reported that he had found 2-billion-year-old microfossils near Kakabeka Falls in western Ontario. Among them were a number of fossils that bore no resemblance to any living organism. One was an elaborate structure that Barghoorn named Kakabekia umbellata. When Siegel saw a photograph of Kakabekia, he exclaimed: "I've seen that thing before." Indeed, some specimens of Barghoorn's fossil and Siegel's living organism were remarkably similar. "When photographs of the two were compared," says Karen Roberts, one of Siegel...
...summer of 1965, Schopf found fossilized remnants of bacteria in rock samples that Barghoorn had brought back from Africa. The fossil organisms -- from a Fig Tree formation in eastern Transvaal, South Africa -- were then the oldest form of life known...
...discovery of photosynthetic organisms so early in the earth's history has important implications, Schopf and Barghoorn state in an article in the current issue of Science. It means either that life emerged much earlier than suspected -- maybe even as far back as 4 billion years ago -- or that once it did arise complex forms evolved much faster than believed...
