...Paper. The first security doubts about Beer date back to 1959, when he separated from his wife Rebecca, a biologist, and fell madly in love with a girl with expensive tastes named Ora Zahavi. To keep Ora happy, Beer went heavily into debt and borrowed from everyone in sight. Two of his front teeth were knocked out in a fist fight with Ora's divorced husband, a taxi driver. Beer's increasingly eccentric behavior worried the secret police, and their shadowing of him paid off when Beer met privately with a known Communist agent. A search...
Enjoying a one-night stand at Michigan State University one year after he was booted out of the University of Illinois for boosting free love, unrepentant Biologist Leo Koch declared that "fidelity is a wonderful thing for people who like it," promptly found someone who did. Unsatisfied by the ex-professor's personal promise of propriety ("As for myself, I would never commit adultery without my wife's consent"), M.S.U. President (and Civil Rights Commission Chairman) John A. Hannah announced: "While Michigan State University cannot reasonably be held responsible for what every speaker on its campus...
Products & Processes. As fast as it can, M.I.T. is adapting itself to meet the obvious but formidable demands of science's near future, in which the dividing lines between branches of science are rapidly being erased: the biologist should be something of a chemist, the chemist must know a lot about physics...
Enclosed though he was in 9-ft. by 5-ft. tank, Biologist Joe D. McClure was not alone: connected with him by pipes were several billion or trillion single-celled algae (Chlorella). Looking like grass-green soup, the algae were housed in tall columns faced with transparent plastic and brilliantly lit by a bank of fluorescent lamps. Parades of bubbles climbed up the columns-and it was those bubbles, enriched with oxygen by the algae, that McClure last week breathed for 26 hours before emerging hale and hearty...
Four young scientists were among the new professors promoted from within the faculty: James D. Watson, 32, a biologist well known for the Watson-Crick model of the structure of Desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a long-chain molecule which determines hereditary traits in living cells; Richard Wilson, 34-years-old expert in high energy physics; Arthur E. Bryson, Jr., 35, whose field is missile stability and reentry heating; and Bernard Budiansky, 35, who has studied the structural problems of supersonic missiles...
