...science concentrators should also be kept for the time being, but if these courses prove successful, science majors should be brought into them. Their presence will increase the discussion and interest in the courses; and certainly the physics major should become acquainted with techniques of biology, and the biologist should have an understanding of the physical sciences...
...every week, technologists put a few of them to use in industry or manufacture. A few of them, at least, are carcinogens (i.e., can cause cancer). The result, says Dr. Ivor Cornman in Cancer Research, is that the U.S. is "submerged in carcinogens, few of which we can recognize." Biologist Cornman, of the Hazleton Laboratories in Falls Church, Va., is not exercised about coal-tar derivatives used in dye-making, some oil products, chromate and uranium ore dusts: their hazards are recognized and it is up to industry (with a prod from government) to see that they are used safely...
...What Biologist Cornman wants to see is a concerted research effort to study everything in man's environment, on the chance that it would solve the riddle of many types of cancer for which the cause is still unknown. The project would resemble the mass screening, currently under way, of all substances now on chemists' shelves, in the hope of finding cures for cancer. A major difficulty: the job is so huge that it would keep hundreds of laboratories working full blast. With the chemists churning out so many new products, Dr. Cornman concedes: "We will have...
...subjects of the British Commonwealth for tribute. Elevated to the baronage, Field Marshal Sir John Harding, former governor of strife-torn Cyprus. As Commander Order of the British Empire, London-born (as Alice Marks) Prima Ballerina Alicia Markova, 47, long renowned for her Giselle; to the knighthood, Author-Biologist Julian Huxley, onetime director-general of UNESCO. The world featherweight boxing champion, Nigeria's Hogan ("Kid") Bassey, 25, learned that he had flailed his way to another laurel-Member of the Order of the British Empire...
...animal relatives are a "type of highly modified plant life," according to Biologist Lawrence S. Dillon of Texas A. & M. By examining the internal structures of living cells. Dillon concludes that all life evolved from microscopic blue-green algae. From these algae developed two main branches of life. One became what is commonly called the plant kingdom, the other evolved into brown seaweed and eventually produced man and his fellow animals. Said Dillon: "We are forced to conclude that all life belongs to only one kingdom, which in all honesty must be recognized as the kingdom of plants...
