Molecular genetics, fastest-growing branch of all, uses the newest techniques of biochemistry to explore the extraordinary molecular structures that exist in every living cell and control its growth and reproduction. Hopes are high that this science will soon come to a complete understanding of life's basic chemical processes. But for all the activity that was reported at the Hague congress, there has been no important breakthrough. Progress reports were filled with the promise of discoveries yet to come. A sampling...
...Trouble. The view from Washington is at least consistent: it holds that, whatever the posture of the Chinese giant, Mao's regime legally does not exist.

He argued that there was no incompatibility between the personal God of Judaism...
...million aht Bayer invests annually in research has produced so many postwar products that 58% of its sales come from items that did not exist 15 years ago. President Kurt Hansen, 53, is a relaxed, personable sort who recalls, "A journalist once asked me why we didn't invite the press when we developed a new product. So I replied, 'Do you want to be invited every day?' " Pharmacy of the World. Since its founding 100 years ago by Dyemaker Friedrich Bayer, the company has shown a knack for seeing ahead of competitors. In the 1860s Bayer...
