Curtiss is still working to develop a more perfect-or defective-microbe for recombinant DNA research. But for the time being, genetic engineers have available a tailor-made microbe that cannot survive outside the laboratory and that cannot colonize or even live in the human intestinal tract. Nor is this the only indication that the bug would make a poor pathogen, or disease organism. Curtiss' handmade microbe will not survive in human serum-including that of cancer patients. It is also easily destroyed by common household detergents...
Much of what Sennett writes about the '60s, when the "tyranny of intimacy" reigned supreme, appears superficially to be true. But because he leaps from one country and one historical period to another, Sennett fails to develop any historical continuity for his argument. The 18th century world of Samuel Johnson preparing speeches to recite to his friends becomes that of Richard Nixon assuring the American public he is a good man with only Dreyfus, unjustly accused of a public crime for private reasons, in between. Through this method of historical "postholing," Sennett presents only the finished products--the public personality...
...Midsummer Night's Dream is the lush poetry of Shakespeare and images of reverie and nightmare, woven together carefully, like a spell. In Titiana's bower, the fairies, who also appear as the courtiers and in two choreographed scenes at the beginning and the end of the show, develop insect-like personalities and the dark underside of Puck is revealed. The elaborate production has been sealed together by the people who brought The Beggar's Opera to Adams House last year. In the stage's flood of dark blue light, lie back and be wooed. Performances are tonight through Saturday...
...grant comes through, as Davis expects, he plans to work together with a colleague on the SAO staff to develop a highly automated device to take needed data quickly and efficiently. For making actual observations, Davis plans to use the automated device with a telescope at an SAO observing facility...
...native of Brooklyn and a graduate of New York's City College, the precise, soft-spoken Press did his doctoral studies at Columbia University and worked with Geophysicist Maurice Ewing to develop a highly sensitive seismograph that can detect even the slightest earth tremors. The device, known as the Press-Ewing seismograph, is now one of the standard tools of earth scientists around the world. Press was also one of the organizers of the International Geophysical Year (IGY), which began, in 1957, as a multidisciplined, worldwide scientific investigation of the earth and the space around it. IGY eventually grew...
