Last week, Bok again addressed the competitiveness issue--one constantly harped on in Congress--in a speech with Stanford President Donald M. Kennedy '52 in Los Angeles. In his remarks, Bok took aim at the Reagan Administration for neglecting long-term spending for university research and facilities. Only with such aid, Bok said, could universities keep pace with world-wide research and take a larger role in improving American economic competitiveness...
...chemistry award went to two Americans, Charles J. Pedersen, 83, now retired from Du Pont, and Donald J. Cram, 68, of the University of California, Los Angeles, and French Chemist Jean-Marie Lehn, 48. The three were cited for their work, dating back as far as the 1960s, in creating artificial molecules that can mimic the behavior of hormones and other organic substances. The lone winner in medicine was Susumu Tonegawa, 48, a Japanese-born molecular biologist at M.I.T. His contribution: showing how a handful of genes in a small number of immune cells turn out a staggering variety...
...seemed downright preposterous to Donald O. Cram of Altadena, Calif., when he got a phone call notifying him that he had just won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Reason: Cram is in the rug-shampooing business. The Swedish Academy of Sciences had rung up the wrong man. Quipped UCLA Chemist Donald J. Cram after hearing about the mix-up: "There is some chemistry involved in carpet cleaning." Cram, Pedersen and Lehn, working independently, shared the award for their work in "host-guest" chemistry. "The basis of our work," explains Lehn, "is the way molecules are able to recognize each other...
