Last spring, the Faculty Council would not endorse the creation of a special appeals board because Faculty Council members thought such a board would be unnecessary, since an appeals mechanism exists in the present Faculty legislation...
...scientific serendipity. The two young scientists at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in Holmdel, N.J., were using a hornlike antenna to "listen" to the faint background hiss created by stars and other radio sources in the Milky Way galaxy. What they picked up was a faint echo of the creation, the remnant of the cataclysmic fireball, or Big Bang, that gave birth to the universe 15 to 20 billion years...
...fireball. The Bell scientists' discovery virtually confirmed that the universe had begun with a bang and, as the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences put it, "has made it possible to obtain information about cosmic processes that took place a very long time ago, at the time of the creation of the universe...
...substance dubbed ATP (for adenosine triphosphate), which conveyed energy through the cell to power the cell's varied chemical reactions. But they had not been able to explain satisfactorily how ATP was formed. Mitchell suggested the novel theory that the key to ATP synthesis is the creation of a kind of gradient -or difference in voltage-on opposite sides of the membranes of bacteria, as well as of such cellular bodies as mitochondria and chloroplasts. This gradient is coupled with a flow of protons (which Mitchell calls "proticity") that in turn provides the energy for the synthesis...
SEVERAL representatives, to be sure, give the impression of being hard-core radicals. These students are particularly eager to influence Harvard's tenure policies, investments in South Africa, the creation of a women's study program and other left-wing causes. The radicals want to begin to act immediately on the issues they feel are pressing. However, they have so far been mollified by another distinct faction in the assembly--a group of left-leaning representatives who differ from the radicals in their belief that representation must come before ideology...
