...report's findings are highly technical and abstruse. But the names of the authors ensure that the paper will be taken seriously by scientists around the world. The team, which did its work at Cambridge, England, was led by Nobel Laureate Francis Crick, who with James Watson determined the structure of life's master molecule, DNA. His co-workers were Sydney Brenner, who discovered the "start" and "stop" signals in the genetic code; Aaron Klug, who first determined the crystalline structure of transfer RNA (tRNA), the molecule that brings amino acids to the ribosome for assembly into protein...
...them for five hours straight?with one five-minute bathroom break. Only water was served. "Before we won, we served Cokes," said Carter, the closest he came to humor. Reports one participant, Economist Arthur Okun: "He is totally able to banish anything, any mortal concerns, like a crick in the backside or thirst or hunger or anything else." Adds Economist Walter Heller: "We call him 'Iron Pants...
...before successfully. The two races have different physical demands-the 400 needs more speed, the 800 more strength-and because of the qualifying heats, require a runner to turn in seven world-class performances in seven days. None of this fazed Juantorena, whose biggest hazard might have been a crick in the neck-he kept looking over his shoulder for opposition...
THEY STEPPED OUT of Jefferson Hall into the fog, dazed and crick-necked. The midyear examination was over and they had made it halfway through Economics 10, Harvard's most popular course. In the eerie, unseasonal mist, indifference curves and isocosts danced before them. Maybe "popular" is the wrong word...
...real origin of this concern was the discovery in 1953 at Cambridge University by Watson and Dr. Francis Crick that the pattern of all life forms is determined by a double-helical molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Since then other investigators have found ways of cutting a long nucleic-acid molecule, by chemical means, into shorter pieces that can then be recombined...
