...Kutztown State College in Kutztown, Pa., is higher than at Smith, Oberlin and Yale? These are just a few of the amazing aperçus served up in a new $7.95 guide to U.S. colleges published last month by the New American Library and prepared by veteran Guide Author Gene R. Hawes. Billed as "A New Kind of College Guide that Reports on What You Want to Know Most-and First-About Colleges," the 416-page paperback modestly describes itself as a "revolutionary" advance in the college-guide...
...have done the most or the best work for fraternity among nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." The first winners were Switzerland's Jean Henri Dunant, founder of the International Red Cross and originator of the Gene va Convention, and France's Frederic Passy, a noted pacifist who convened the first International Peace Congress in Paris in 1889. The first female recipient (in 1905) was Austrian Baroness Bertha von Suttner, a longtime confidante of Nobel's known popularly as "Peace Bertha," who founded the Austrian...
Interferon is likely to remain expensive for some time to come. Scientists have not yet fully determined the structure of the interferon molecule and thus cannot bring down the cost by synthesizing it. Nor have they isolated the gene that orders interferon production in the cell. Once that gene is determined, Gutterman says, the technique of recombinant DNA could be used to insert it into a laboratory strain of E. coli bacteria, which would then multiply and produce interferon inexpensively and in large quantities...
Lear pegs 1971 as the year when scientists began to question the safety of certain kinds of recombinant DNA research. As a result of a few scientists' conscientious probing, researchers gathered for a series of conferences in which they discussed the potential hazards of gene-splicing. Slowly and increasingly acrimoniously,they drew up guidelines recommending a voluntary moratorium on certain kinds of recombinant DNA research and setting up standards for physical and biological safety precautions for investigators to observe in different categories of experiments. These conferences proved the basis for the 1976 National Institutes of Health (NIH) guidelines. Since...
...after the first 15 minutes of Crimson domination that left the score 2-0, Harvard seemed set for a relaxed morning of soccer. Harvard's forward line had Dartmouth's defense wallowing in confusion. Right wing Cat Ferrante dominated the right wing, doing her Gene Purdy imitation as she dug for the ball in the corner of the field, and Sue St. Louis terrorized the center of the field as usual...
