Another case in point is Count Giorgio di Sant'Angelo, 29, the costume-jewelry designer noted for his gold-chain bikini. He thinks of himself as a Renaissance man, and not without some reason. He studied architecture in Florence, industrial design in Barcelona, ceramies in Paris. He also studied with Picasso, drew cartoons for Walt Disney, designed hotel interiors in the Caribbean. Now he has produced his first collection of clothes, including Levi-inspired pants suits in broadtail and patchwork explosions of pure color, designed so that individual pieces can be combined in any number of ways.

...biological Rosetta stone. After synthesizing a single helix with half-stairs that were the equivalent of only one of DNA's nucleotides-adenine (A)-he added it to a solution containing all 20 amino acids. Only one protein was produced in the solution. It consisted entirely of a chain of amino-acid molecules called phenylalanine. Thus, Nirenberg concluded, a three-letter code word made up of adenine nucleotides (AAA) was nature's instruction to the cell to use phenylalanine in building a protein...
...them to an assembly site where, in the sequence dictated by the master DNA molecule, they are combined into the appropriate protein. Holley worked out the complete structure of a transfer RNA molecule, demonstrating how it attaches to a particular amino acid and brings it to the growing protein chain at the proper time and place...
...turns out to be a maraschino cherry, which turns out to sit atop a chocolate sundae, which turns out to be the focal point for a swirling phantasmagoria of color. All of which, it also turns out, is a 60-second videotape commercial for a venerable Manhattan-based restaurant chain.

...clear the grapes out of every supermarket, fruit stand, and corner food store in New England. But Munoz is remarkably sanguine about his chances. He claims that the number of grapes coming into Boston has already been cut by about 40 percent, and that all of the major chain stores inside route 128 have been cleared. The fruit stands and smaller stores have proved much harder to crack. And some chain stores, like DeMoulas's tend to backslide after the picketers have left. But most of the larger supermarkets, Munoz reports, fall into line at even the mention of possible...
