...customary as the coffee break. Oklahoma City has at least 100 separate groups of Protestant businessmen and factory hands who gather during the day to pray in common for such causes as world peace and the recovery of sick friends. Detroit Lawyer Robert Choate. a Congregationalist. belongs to a cell of laymen who gather at 8 a.m. each Wednesday in a downtown office and hold a session of prayer. "All through the state I keep hearing of people who get together aside from regular church hours and pray," he says...
Enzymes are nature's chemical tools; every living cell is stuffed with thousands of them, and every part of living organisms was manufactured by them. They act as organic catalysts that speed up chemical changes in cells without taking part in the change themselves. In the case of an enzyme-treated cut of meat, the enzyme simply begins to digest the meat, making it tenderer and saving part of the labor of the enzymes present in everyone's digestive juices. Enzymes, in fact...
...Berkeley researchers made a significant breakthrough eight years ago when they learned that tiny bodies (chloro-plasts) from plant cells can carry on photosynthesis all by themselves. Using isolated chloroplasts from spinach leaves, Dr. Arnon and his colleagues found that they could study the role of light without being bothered by the other chemical processes that take place in the normal plant cell. After tedious experiment, they decided that when green plant pigment (chlorophyll) is struck by sunlight its molecules become so excited that they shake loose some electrons. And those electrons eventually help to form some of the basic...
...John P. Mc-Morrow, civilian pilots for the Air America charter service (which ferried supplies for the previous Laotian regime), and NBC Cameraman Grant Wolfkill, who was a passenger in their helicopter when it crashed 40 miles north of the capital. Unlike the others, the three shared a cell, and had been relatively well treated since last April, when they were transferred from the custody of savage Meo tribesmen to a camp run by the Viet Minh Communist troops from North Viet...
...Meos were the worst," said robust Grant Wolfkill. "They ran around like wild men, always looking for an excuse to kill us." When they got bored, the tribesmen would fire machine-gun bursts into the cell; the trio were kept in heavy wooden stocks "like Salem witches." Their steady diet: rice and salt. By contrast, cracked Wolfkill, the Viet Minh "did more or less abide by the International Convention for war prisoners-we were at least allowed to go to the toilet." Despite their hardships, the five who came back were fortunate. American officials in Laos have been unable...
