...aristocracy would do well here, much better than it is doing in my country," observed British Novelist and M.P. Maurice Edelman on a visit to the U.S. The author of All on a Summer's Night went on to offer some puckish notions as to how an American aristocracy might be titled. First minister in the court of King Richard would be Spiro, Duke of Maryland; then would come such lesser dignitaries as Knight of the Garter Henry Kissinger and Companion of Honor Bebe Rebozo. In the Midwest, it would be Earl Humphrey of Minnesota. And in the Southwest...
...That assumption, he said, "inescapably carries racist overtones." Black separatists, in fact, do favor having their own schools, and some others have become skeptical of integration as a panacea. But most blacks still want it, or at least demand a genuine choice in the matter (see EDUCATION). Marian Wright Edelman, director of the Washington Research Project, found Nixon's "appeal to black separatists' feelings" clever but irrelevant. "In effect," she said, "this is a separate but equal policy, nothing more than an endorsement of continued segregation." As New York Psychologist Kenneth Clark saw it, "This is a denuding...

...antibody molecule is a protein, made up of chains of amino acids, of which there are 20 varieties. In 31 years of detailed work, the Edelman team learned by chemical and physical analysis that this particular molecule contains 19,996 atoms (of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur) grouped in 1,320 amino-acid units, which in turn are assembled with the aid of chemical bonds into two "light" chains of 214 amino acids apiece and two "heavy" chains of 446 each (see diagram). Schematically, the four chains, in which the acids are strung like beads, look like a letter...
Selective Immunity. Dr. Edelman, 39, a physician and molecular biologist, insists that the chemical description of an antibody molecule is basic science, and he will not speculate on its potential medical uses. But his remarkable accomplishment may well be an important step toward the day when doctors will be able to selectively regulate immune reactions, allowing patients to accept transplants without lowering their resistance to disease...
