...last week at teatime, Nasser's government rounded up two Britons and half a dozen Egyptians. Shortly thereafter, the Egyptian information chief announced that the two Englishmen-James Swinburn, 51, of the British-owned Arab News Agency and Charles Pittuck, 47, of the Marconi Radio & Telegraph Co. had made a "complete confession." According to the government spokesman, Swinburn headed "a dangerous espionage ring which worked for British intelligence and supplied it with information about the Egyptian armed forces."

Pauling showed that the abnormal, short-lived, sickle-shaped red blood cells, characteristic of the disease, contained Hemoglobin S, a hitherto unknown form of hemoglobin that differs in molecular structure from the normal Hemoglobin A. More important, Pauling & Co. showed that a defective gene determined the production of this type of hemoglobin. If both parents had the defective gene, even without the overt disease, the chances that their offspring would have full-fledged anemia were (by Mendelian law) one in four...
