...head a Senate Sub-committee on Internal Security, currently investigating communism in the peace movement. They have demanded of Pauling the names of those scientists whom he had asked to help circulate a petition calling for an end to nuclear testing and a general agreement on disarmament. The biochemist has refused to release the names and Eastland and Dodd are now threatening to cite Pauling for contempt of Congress...
Nearly everyone wants to know how life on earth began, says Biochemist Sidney W. Fox of Florida State University, but most scientists who conjecture about it merely theorize. They do not test their ideas by actual experiments. Dr. Fox and a few others have been experimenting, and in Science Dr. Fox tells what luck they have had so far in charting the secret paths followed by nature in the creation of life...
...same plane were 79 other Europeans cleared for immigration into the U.S., including a biochemist, whose entry into the U.S. was being sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences in Washington. In recent years tens of thousands of immigrants like the Suritis had streamed through New York, causing little more stir than an 8:04 commuter train coming from Long Island...
Over it all hovered Golden Door Keeper Edmund Bordeaux Szekely (pronounced Saykay), a bald, round-bellied Transylvanian who obviously shuns his own exercises. Entrepreneur Szekely is a sometime archaeologist, philosopher, biochemist and author (he claims 69 books). By his own admission, he speaks 14½ languages, the 50% lingo being English. His cosmetics, says he grandly, are drawn from history, e.g., General Potemkin's letters taught him the oils used by Catherine the Great (Siberian fir needles, hay, geranium and lilac), and Anne Marie's exercises are supposedly based on a calisthenics drill devised by Leonardo da Vinci...
Toward Synthetic Cells. Biochemist Sidney W. Fox of Florida State University reported progress toward creating life in the laboratory. Experimenters have long known that when a mixture of methane, ammonia, carbon dioxide and water vapor (all probable constituents of the earth's primitive atmosphere) is bombarded with electric sparks or high-energy radiation, amino acids are produced. Amino acids are the building blocks that form the multitudinous proteins in living organisms, and Dr. Fox carried the process a step farther. When he heated a mixture of amino acids with polyphosphoric acid as a catalyst, he got big molecules with...
