When the power expired, so did our national and international Tele printer operations, just then gearing to send out some 120 story queries to bureaus around the world. The communications staff turned to the telephone, which, thanks to 24 wet-cell stand-by batteries, worked. First call was to Tokyo, where, with a 14-hour time lead, the week was well under way. Tokyo staffers copied the telephone queries for the bureau as well as those for relay to Hong Kong, Manila and other Far Eastern news centers. Calls to Paris, Bonn and London followed...
...substations and connects with the main current line from the Cambridge Power and Light Company, where Harvard buys all its electricity. Murphy said the system is a recent innovation which, at this time, services only a section of the University. The other two emergency sources are wet and dry-cell batteries...
Jacob and Monod carried this line of experimentation further, discovered that a macromolecule of DNA itself does not tell the cell what substances to manufacture. Instead, it makes a partial copy of itself, called "messenger RNA," to execute its orders. The Jacob-Monod hypothesis goes on to suggest that a second or "operator" gene, also present in the DNA, may work with the basic gene in a complex feed-back mechanism. And there may even be a third type of gene...
With Stand-ins. To check and expand on these hypotheses, Lwoff chose to work with single-celled organisms, such as bacteria, because they have a single chromosome (whereas man has 46). As stand-ins for genes he chose viruses that infect bacteria (bacterio-phages), because their cores consist of nucleic acid. What actually happens Lwoff found, is not as simple as had been thought. The viral nucleic acid, in effect masquerading as a gene, might do one of two things after invading a bacterium: 1) stimulate the bacterial cell to produce hundreds of copies of the virus particle, and destroy...
...because Lumet crowds the screen with strong, spare imagery built around the fearful mound. After a ghastly ordeal on the hill, filmed from the sweaty side of a gas mask, one prisoner dies, hounded to his doom by a sadistic guard. Subsequently, the entire camp boils over in a cell-block riot that becomes a triumph for the sergeant major-and for Actor Andrews, who struts through the scene with malevolent skill, clearly a match for the best of movie badmen...
