Subsequently the suspect was transferred to a windowless maximum-security cell in the hospital area of the Central Jail for Men. A guard remained in the cell with him. Another watched through an aperture in the door. Altogether, the county sheriff's office assigned 100 men to personal and area security around the cell and the jail. For the suspect's second court appearance, the judge came to him and presided at a hearing in the jail chapel...
...college-level Roman Catholics. The movement began last year, when three young theology instructors at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh met to pray and found themselves, according to their testimony, simultaneously speaking in tongues. Similar experiments have since been tried at other Catholic schools. At Notre Dame, there is a cell of 30 glossolalia enthusiasts, including students and teachers from nearby St. Mary's College, who meet one night a week for prayer session...
...expressing grief normally through mourning, such people, he said, channel their emotional response internally through the nervous system. This in turn upsets the body's hormonal balance. It may also affect immunological processes. Both of these mechanisms may play a significant role in controlling and combatting the rogue cell growth of cancer...
...stopped the synthesis of all RNA by treating the cells with the specific antibiotic Actinomycin D, which is, incidentally, used to stop the growth of cancer cells. From then on, all protein synthesis depended on pre-existing messengers. He detected new protein molecules by exposing the cells to radioactive amino acids, which are incorporated into any protein the cell synthesizes. Kafatos has made thin sections of the cell and covered them with a thin photographic film. The radioactivity behaves like light and activated the film. His process is called autoradiography. He could then develop the film, count the activated silver...
Kafatos is right now engaged in further experiments with the new salt, to test that informosomes actually do exist. It has been suggested that cancer is a special case of a cell's function being transformed by a virus. A cancer cell has broken out of the normal limits on its growth and function. If scientists can discover what makes cells less stable in their commitment to a limited, differentiated career, and thus more liable to become cancerous, he might be able to find ways to treat this process. Yet Kafatos repeatedly emphasizes the fact that he is still distant...
