...book has now sold over 300,000 copies in hardback and paperback and has been translated into eleven languages. The Lives of a Cell was given a National Book Award in April 1975, but not in the category of science. It was honored as a contribution to the field of arts and letters...
...dominated California racing throughout the spring. The two colts battled behind the leaders for the first mile on the old course in Louisville, Ky., last week, but when it came to the testing moment on the far turn, Spectacular Bid ran off from Flying Paster and away from the field, winning the 105th Run for the Roses by 2¾ lengths over General Assembly.

His model is based on principles of topology, a field ofter described as "rubber-sheet geometry" because it concerns forms that may be stretched or distorted without changing their fundamental, qualitative properties. Thom contends that for a wide range of mathematical structures; including almost all natural processes, only seven stable "unfoldings" can occur. By varying the number and arrangement of factors controlling these structures, he determined that apart from the seven "elementary" structures, all others are doomed to degenerate into unstable configurations...
