...chemistry award went to two Americans, Charles J. Pedersen, 83, now retired from Du Pont, and Donald J. Cram, 68, of the University of California, Los Angeles, and French Chemist Jean-Marie Lehn, 48. The three were cited for their work, dating back as far as the 1960s, in creating artificial molecules that can mimic the behavior of hormones and other organic substances. The lone winner in medicine was Susumu Tonegawa, 48, a Japanese-born molecular biologist at M.I.T. His contribution: showing how a handful of genes in a small number of immune cells turn out a staggering variety...

...essence of the work was the discovery of crown-ethers made by Pedersen several years ago," said Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science Dudley R. Herschbach, who won the Nobel Prize in chemistry last year. "Cram and Lehn were among the leaders in following up Pedersen's work...
...APPEARANCE OF the Student Council questionnaire officially opens the long-expected investigation into the subject of private tutoring schools. Hitherto the whole subject has been treated with a sort of hush-hush secrecy, as if the famed "cram" parlors were sacrosanct pillars of Harvard society and above the taint of investigation or suspicion.
