...workings of DNA's other essential function: how it orders the production of proteins. These are also long and twisted helical molecules, but they are the actual building blocks rather than the genetic blueprints for living things. As such, proteins are immensely varied; there are many thousands of different kinds in the human body alone. The distinctive proteins that make up the cells of the eye, for example, differ from those of the kidneys or muscles. Despite their variety, however, all proteins are built from some of only 20 smaller and simpler molecules, called amino acids. How then, scientists asked...
Berrigan: O.K. Well, let's agree to differ on that, maybe from the point of view of a certain risk that I am willing to take in regard to those young people -a risk that I would be much less willing to take in regard to something as long-term as the Klan. But there is always danger in taking these risks, and the only way in which I can keep reasonably free of that danger is by saying in public and to myself that the Weatherman ideology (for instance) is going to meet up with people...
...Prime Minister's policies are not likely to differ markedly from his predecessor's. "I will be very anti-Communist and very anti-socialist," said McMahon. Like Gorton, he supports Australia's commitment of 7,100 troops to Viet Nam; indeed, in his first act last week, McMahon named Gorton as his Defense Minister. At home he must deal with an increasingly familiar phenomenon-persistent inflation (7.6% last year) combined with a sluggish economy. But his immediate job is to rebuild the party before the 1972 elections, when the Liberals must face a revived Labor Party under...
While tactics may differ, the aim of virtually all the groups is the same: having accepted at last the dictum that it cannot win the hearts and minds of people through violence, the movement hopes to radicalize the population through organization and political education. In Berkeley, for example, radicals are putting up a slate for mayor and city councilmen in the spring elections. Members of this "April Coalition" have already succeeded in placing on the ballot a measure that would decentralize police powers and give them over to neighborhoods within the community. Another, even more old-fashioned radical activity...
...President has also been jawboning Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns to pump out money faster, announcing that Burns has assured him that the board will issue as much money as the economy needs. Burns has never confirmed that commitment, and his idea of what the economy needs seems to differ from Nixon's. Some Federal Reserve economists figure that in order to make Nixon's predictions come true, the board would have to increase the money supply at a 9% to 11% annual rate, almost double the 5% to 6% pace of recent months. Burns and his fellow...
