...Nixon is, of course, the sale of his memoirs. One of the West Coast's top literary agents, Irving ("Swifty") Lazar, said that Nixon has signed a contract with him to negotiate with publishers. Lazar, 67, represents such luminaries as Vladimir Nabokov, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Irwin Shaw, Theodore White, Fran??oise Sagan and Billy Wilder. Lazar expects Nixon to write three volumes. The first will trace his life through his first term as President; the second will cover his foreign policy achievements and contacts with world leaders; the third will deal with Watergate. "I think he's going to tell...
...form of RNA, which was later found to carry specific amino acids floating in the cytoplasm to the ribosomes; this substance became known as transfer RNA. Then in the early 1960s, biologists discovered a third kind of RNA?shortly after its existence had been theorized by Jacques Monod and Fran??ois Jacob of France's Pasteur Institute. Called messenger RNA, it provided the missing piece in the molecular puzzle. It was formed on an uncoiled strip of DNA in the nucleus, imprinted with the particular "message" encoded in that portion?or gene?of the staircase, and then sent off with...
...European's compulsive fascination with what was once called the American Experiment often translates itself into harsh criticism.

...ritual sun-bath and a swim in the nude in his private pool, where he also tests out new swimsuit fabrics. As a former dancer and an outdoors-loving Californian, he believes wholeheartedly in the natural body. He has carried his beliefs into practice. Today, Editor of French Vogue Fran??oise de Langlade de La Renta claims: "No one has freed the body like Rudi Gernreich, and I doubt that anyone so overflows with ideas." One of his most liberating designs was a simple knit tank suit with no inner construction. It came at a time when women were bathing...
...thrust in movies took inception from the collapse of Hollywood in the early '50s and the revival of Europe as a center of film production. Since the European industry was small and loosely organized, such directors as Vittorio De Sica, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Alain Resnais, Fran??ois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard could pretty well shoot them as they saw them and let the censor take the hindmost. As a result, they made a number of fine far-out films (The Bicycle Thief, Wild Strawberries, 8½, L'Avventura, Hiroshima, Mon Amour, The 400 Blows, Breathless) that made...
