...after getting thrown out of Outward Bound in his thirteenth summer--for taking a penknife on his solo. Shapiro once went out with woman whose sole saving grace was here last name, which was DuPont. DuPont. Shapiro rolled it around on his tongue, and it always came out--hydro-carbon effluents--nah, it came out money. Money to travel. Money to write. Money to never have to worry about money again. And she loved him, in her insipid, lobotomized little way, or so they imagined. He went out to dinner with her parents--no take-out Chinese from those Chiang...
...mystique. Ads will note that the water, which has been bottled commercially since 1863, has been bubbling up from a single underground spring near Mimes in Southern France for thousands of years. For the health-minded, the campaign will emphasize that the drink, which gets its sparkle from carbon dioxide that occurs naturally in the water, is high in calcium and almost salt free. The company "believes," but will not be able to advertise in the U.S., that the water helps "prevent heart disease in some instances, keep makeup fresh and soothe a hangover." Perrier President Gustave Leven says simply...
David J. Monroe '78 said yesterday he asked James D. Wuest, assistant professor of Chemistry, to discontinue experiments involving dioxane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and benzene which are known to produce cancer in laboratory animals...
...coli did not merely accept the hybrid plasmids. When the bacteria reproduced-by dividing and thus doubling-at a rate of about once every 30 minutes, they created carbon copies of themselves, new plasmids and all. In only a day, one bacterium could make billions of duplicates of a transplanted gene...
...solution of cold calcium chloride containing normal E. coli bacteria. When the solution is suddenly heated, the membranes of the E. coli become permeable, allowing the plasmid chimeras to pass through and become part of the microbes' new genetic structure. When the E. coli reproduce, they create carbon copies of themselves, new plasmids -and DNA sequences-and all. Thus they become forms of life potentially different from what they had been before-imbued with characteristics dictated not only by their own E. coli genes but also by genes from an entirely different species...
