...theory, both Patrice Lumumba and his ambitions were safely mewed up in Colonel Joseph Mobutu's army camp. In fact, Lumumba was doing just about as well inside as out. For one thing, he had talked his way out of his jail cell, now had the run of the camp and ate in the officers' mess. More important, his followers, quietly and steadily, were spreading the Lumumba banner over more and more of the troubled nation, just as if Patrice himself had been there giving orders...
Last week Chicago happily found its top scholar in Caltech's acting dean of the faculty: dynamic Geneticist George Wells Beadle, 57, who shared the 1958 Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology for discovering how genes affect heredity by controlling cell chemistry (TIME, Cover, July...
...program calls for a new laboratory of cell biology. Also under construction is a laboratory for basic research into the finite chemical structure of genetic material, to increase knowledge of heredity...
...defined beam. The surgeon removes a small portion of the bone behind the ear, acoustically irradiates the exposed canal with the gun's waves. Much as a soprano's high note can shatter a wineglass, the beams shot from the gun are supposed to shake the diseased cell structure and destroy it. In preliminary tests on a group of 22 sufferers treated with the ultrasonic waves, 15 were relieved of further at tacks of the disease, and four showed marked improvement. In some cases, patients have even been able to hear better after treatment. But because...
Cancer, too, is a target of molecular biology. Harvard's Dr. John Enders, a virologist whose tissue cultures made polio vaccine possible, believes that some cancers in lower animals are certainly caused by viruses. "Recent work has shown," he says, "that malignant cells that develop after infection by a virus do not necessarily continue to hold the virus. They lose the virus but continue to grow, and can pass cells to other animals without the virus' being present. It looks as if the function of the virus is to start the cell going wrong. Then it can continue...
