...with its cellular organization modeled on the techniques of Mao's Red Army, played a key role in gaining support for the Communists among the Vietnamese population. Like their Red Army counterparts, the NLF worked in small groups, emphasizing the Thieu government's exploitation and downplaying their revolutionary aims. They tried to win the support of the Vietnamese peasants by treating them courteously--for the most part. Gradually, many Vietnamese villages became NLF strongholds, prompting some of the more horrible U.S. attrocities to "flush out" NLF members...
...intermediate steps the cell employs in translating the DNA code--for 22 years. Whereas Gilbert has a definite medical goal pushing him on, Doty must stab in the dark and hope to come up with a lead which will help scientists to understand this most basic of cellular processes...
...they had not been able to explain satisfactorily how ATP was formed. Mitchell suggested the novel theory that the key to ATP synthesis is the creation of a kind of gradient -or difference in voltage-on opposite sides of the membranes of bacteria, as well as of such cellular bodies as mitochondria and chloroplasts. This gradient is coupled with a flow of protons (which Mitchell calls "proticity") that in turn provides the energy for the synthesis of ATP. In addition to explaining this vital cell process, the Swedish Academy noted, Mitchell's so-called chemiosmotic theory may suggest...
...ruling last June invalidating the school's preferential admissions program. Others were not nearly so delighted by his presence. As Bakke arrived, demonstrators shouted, "Affirmative action we demand; unite to smash the Bakke plan!" but the student kept his cool. After a three-hour lecture in molecular and cellular biology, a fellow student handed down his own Bakke decision: "He seems like a pretty nice guy. He's just stuck in class like the rest...
...parents and grandparents were fascinated with words and poetics, and fostered that same affinity in their family. "I'm sure there's cellular truth to this, too," Carlin interjects, "but my mother's father was an original New York cop, and he had written out long-hand all of Shakespeare's written works--he quizzed my mother at the dinner table. And my mother was always careful to let us know how we could free ourselves through expression...
