General Inquisition. In the hearing before Justice Reardon in Boston's Suffolk County Courthouse, Kennedy Attorney Edward Benno Hanify argued: "It is difficult to see in the inquest something other than a general inquisition into his reputation and conduct over and above that to which he has already pleaded guilty [leaving the scene of an accident]. I submit that the rights of which he has been deprived present grave constitutional questions...
...head of the Congregation of Rites. At the same time, Giacomo Cardinal Lercaro, 76, the Archbishop of Bologna, resigned his additional duty as head of the Council-created consilium for liturgical reform-thereby allowing the Pope to combine the two overlapping jobs and give them to another non-Italian: Benno Cardinal Gut, 70, a Swiss Benedictine abbot who favors more changes in the Mass...
...immediate cause of the Bonn confrontation was the fatal shooting of Student Benno Ohnesorg, 26, during the anti-Shah rioting. His death by a police bullet has elevated him to martyrdom; the New Left now talks of him the way angry West Germans talked of Peter Fechter, who was killed by East German border guards at the Berlin Wall five years ago. West Berlin's police chief (since furloughed) hardly helped matters when he called the anti-Shah crowd "a liverwurst . . . You press it in the middle to squeeze it out at the end." To the distress...
...isolate the represser, Biophysicist Walter Gilbert and Biochemist Benno Muller-Hill decided to work with a species of simple bacteria called Escherichia coli, which have a healthy appetite for lactose, a sugar found in milk. The scientists knew that when lactose was available, the bacteria cells produced an enzyme that broke the sugar down into two simpler sugars that the cells could use. When only other nutrients were present, however, the amount of this enzyme was drastically reduced; a repressor apparently turned off the gene that controlled its production...
...after its two competitors had already started. Carte Blanche imprudently handed out cards to poor credit risks, ended up with an inordinate number of bill dodgers. In a rescue operation two years ago, Conrad Hilton eased his son Barren out of the presidency, replaced him with veteran Hotelman Benno M. Bechhold, 60. Bechhold weeded out poor risks, cut the number of cardholders by 100,000 (current membership: 425,000) and installed an IBM 1401 computer to speed up billing operations. As a result, Carte Blanche earned $900,000 on billings of $58.7 million for the first nine months...
