...pulverizing effect -the so-called gardening of the lunar surface attributed to bombardment by smaller meteorites-is occurring in at least some places at a much slower rate than had been supposed, thereby allowing the various layers to accumulate undisturbed for long periods of time. Cracked University of Chicago Chemist Edward Anders: "Whoever is in charge of the gardening of the moon is not doing a very good...
...Shadow ($5). Co-Owners Sandy Oringer and Lois Muller started out with a mailorder offer-$2 for a jar of strawberry cleansing cream, grapefruit freshener and lemon moisturizer-that drew such response that they formulated an entire line of raw-juice and oil-based cosmetics and found a chemist to put it together...
...acid chains called peptides, which are small proteins. Finally, he narrowed the search to a single peptide-consisting of a sequence of 15 amino acids-that he named scotophobin, from the Greek words for dark and fear. To check his conclusion, Ungar asked Wolfgang Parr, a University of Houston chemist, to duplicate scotophobin using only off-the-shelf chemicals. The synthetic variety differed slightly from the natural chemical produced in the brains of fear-induced rats, says Ungar, but it was still sufficiently potent to make nighttime cowards of most normal rats and mice...
...Acid Test, high-power blowouts set up by Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters; and they played the Trips Festival, a three-day benefit managed by Bill Graham that signaled the big rush of San Francisco rock concerts. With the financial backing and electrical genius of Owsley the acid chemist, they developed themselves into the fountain-head of a new kind of music: acid rock...
...news editor of the A.A.A.S. publication Science, and one of the most astute observers of the U.S. scientific establishment. Urged by the board members to bring their doubts about Seaborg's nomination to the attention of the full membership, Greenberg ordered up an account of the backstage maneuvering. Chemist Philip Abelson, Science's editor and Seaborg's contemporary at the University of California, refused to print it; he said that it would be unfair to raise questions about Seaborg's candidacy just before the voting. Infuriated, Greenberg quit...
