...join it, forming a double-stranded hybrid. He mixed minute amounts of both molecules and whirled them in a centrifuge for three days. Because the density of RNA is different from that of DNA, the strands gradually separated in the test tube, forming two distinct layers. To his delight there also appeared a third layer, which proved that a product of intermediate density-the combined RNA-DNA molecule-had indeed formed...
Jill Clayburgh is lovely as the minister's young wife Judith. She is particularly skilful in the long scene in which she is first left alone with Dick. Her gradual progression from flustered fear to the threshold of adultery is a delight to watch. (After the performance I caught, an unfortunote accident obliged her to leave the cast; I hope she will be back in harness again shortly...
Safety Valve. Mobbed by well-wishers at the airport in Brasilia, the country's inland capital, Pelé told them that the cup victory was "the greatest moment of my life." He believed it, and so did the fans, who delight in Pelé's every triumph. The victory provided the Brazilians with a chance to resort to their natural safety valve: the Carnaval.

Amateur Mayfair psychiatrists delight in speculating about the personality of the working-class boy who turned himself into the archetype of the perfect Tory gentleman: sleek, immaculately tailored, slightly haughty and terribly self-contained. He is, some Tories claim, simply too good to be true. One acquaintance traces Heath's transformation back to Balliol: "When Ted went to Oxford, it was during the terribly class-conscious Britain of the '30s. He knew at Oxford that if he wanted to get ahead, he'd have to adjust. Ted shucked his working-class accent, clothes and whole life style for that...
