...presoaks. Consumer Reports concluded that Biz and Axion did little better than regular detergents in removing many stains, but Consumer Bulletin found that the new products "can surely help turn out a brighter, whiter wash." To sift the various claims, the housewife would need the advice of a chemist. In any case, the onslaught of enzymes, by adding still another step-and another product-to the laundry process, makes her washday chores both longer and costlier...
...never sung a role with a professional opera company, and only learned about the audition four days ahead of time. As a Negro, he is an unlikely looking Wagnerian hero. The father of six children (soon there will be seven), Russell makes his living as a research chemist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Philadelphia. Until he started lessons at Philadelphia's Settlement Music School at the age of 26, he had done most of his singing in church choirs and shower -stalls. Instead of a Wagnerian selection, he sang an aria from Verdi's Otello, impressing...
...Composed of equal parts naivete' and cliche', the play is all about Money and the Tyranny with which it Rules our damnable Lives. Albee's irony is that society condemns moon-lighting as a call girl, but rewards the more pervasive practitioners of the art like the research chemist who perfects germ warfare or the publisher who exploits trash. And so we enter the Age of the Whore...
...Chemist Clementi firmly believes that test-tube computers will bring new precision to chemistry. They will also enable scientists for the first time to study otherwise inaccessible chemical reactions that occur in the extreme temperatures of rocket engines, for example, or under the stupendous pressures at the center of the earth. "In safety and at their leisure," says Clementi, "they will be able to produce these reactions in a computer that will not melt in the heat or collapse from the pressure...
Died. Lise Meitner, 89, Austrian-born nuclear physicist, whose basic research was vital to the development of the atomic bomb; in Cambridge, England. In 1938, after three decades of pioneering work in radioactivity with Chemist Otto Hahn at Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, Lise, a Jew, was forced to flee to Sweden-just when she and Hahn were on the verge of achieving nuclear fission. When Hahn sent her the details of his experiments with uranium some months later, she completed the immensely complex mathematical calculations proving that he had indeed split the atom and, in the process, released...
