Comedian John Belushi. Gangster John Dillinger. Nobel Biologist Francis Crick. All are classic Type T personalities, and so, fittingly enough, is television...
Type Ts, says Farley, are invariably high-energy people, some of whom find excitement in mental exercise. Scientist Crick, he points out, was a successful physicist who switched in mid-career to biology, where he won honors for his work with DNA. Sometimes, Farley believes, the energy goes awry: Belushi, a creative entertainer, sought stimulation in drugs, turning from a T-plus into a T-minus. Says Farley: "I can't predict whether the Type T will become a Dillinger or a Crick, but if you can interest them early and work with them, you can push them toward...
...latest revelations challenge certain assumptions of the so-called code- frozen accident theory postulated by Francis Crick, who with James Watson discovered the structure of DNA. Crick proposed that the genetic code was essentially an accident of nature, which, once fixed a few billion years ago, would never change. Explains Preer: "It's hard to imagine how one code could evolve into another without jeopardizing the protein in the cell." Whatever the mechanism, the changes must have occurred very early on; some biologists suggest that the alterations may have been a ploy by one-celled creatures to resist viruses, which...
