...would be nice if the same could be said for Arthur D. Hellman's piece on bomb shelters and Thomas J. Babe, Jr.'s critique of the Bender Report. Both articles contain much good research and many perceptive thoughts. But lapses in writing and organization are their undoing. Only the most dedicated reader will follow Mr. Hellman's string of quotations to the end. And those who are initially impressed (as I was) with many of Mr Babe's observations will be disappointed to see him overcome by inarticulateness when he tries to formulate conclusions from them...
...voice became more vibrant as she gradually worked her way up to the present, resting on Zola for a moment, deftly controverting recent critical opinion about the author of Germinal. He was rooted in the cycle of nature and his novels of defeat contain an affirmation of life, invincible and forever, she insisted.

...spring around a tiny hypodermic needle that stabs the cell wall, and through this the nucleic-acid core is injected. Micrographs show whether viruses are basically cubic or helical in structure. They also reveal that viruses may have an exquisitely complex symmetry around as many as five axes, and contain hundreds of submolecules, each of which may have a hollow hexagonal structure. Chemical tests show whether viruses have cores of ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and whether they have enzymes or fats in their coats...
...points out that earth's scientists know only one kind of life, the familiar earthly form based on amino acids linked into protein molecules. This sort of life requires a watery environment and a narrow range of temperature. Elsewhere in the universe there may be living organisms that contain no amino acids, need no water, and can live and multiply at extremely high or extremely low temperatures. Such exobiota might do better on earth than native living creatures do. Says Lederberg: "We know that whenever two ecological systems are thrown together, the situation becomes unstable." For a homely recent...
