...Year also include the prodigious striplings of science. One is Biologist Joshua Lederberg, 35, a Nobelman in 1958 for his demonstration that viruses can change the heredity of bacteria, who is now deep in the study of a new science that he calls "exobiology" ?an attempt to obtain and compare life on other planets with that on earth. Another is Physicist Donald Glaser, one of the U.S.'s two Nobel prizewinners in science for 1960 (Chemist Libby is the other). Glaser's award came for his development of the bubble chamber, a quantum jump in the study of atomic...
...Nation's Future (NBC, 9:30-10:30 p.m.). In this week's debate and panel discussion, Biologist Sir Julian Huxley represents the affirmative on the question, "Is international birth control needed to head off world disaster?"; Belgian Demographer Jacques Mertens de Wilmars is the nay sayer...

The Home Office sent Pathologist Dr. Gerald Evans and Biologist Dr. Alan Clift. Entomologists studied the dead moths and flies found in the closet. Also enlisted was a London University Egyptologist who was a specialist on ancient mummies. For weeks the experts studied their find. Unwrapping and comparing a 2,500-year-old mummy from Liverpool University, they measured the shrinkage of the bones to determine that the woman had died two decades...

"No," replied the scientist. Then Rankin moved in on Witness Clift, the government biologist who had rashly admitted that he was an "expert on stocking strangulation cases." "Did you ever ask if that stocking had been stretched?" he thundered. With a sigh. Dr. Clift replied that he had not. Had the stocking really looked like a rope, as Clift had testified? Clift paused, then admitted...
...Britain's Maurice Wilkins and Francis Crick, and U.S. Biologist James D. Watson, for studies of the structure of the deoxyribonucleic (DNA) acid molecule, one of the principal elements in cell metabolism and in transmission of inheritable characteristics...
