Whether or not a man's genes may predispose him to criminal tendencies, Chemist Linus Pauling believes that they may have a lot to do with his mental state. This has been proved for a few relatively uncommon conditions such as phenylketonuria (PKU), in which a defective gene leaves the baby unable to metabolize phenylalanine. The resulting metabolic upset damages the brain and causes mental retardation. But Dr. Pauling would go much farther. In Science, he suggests that because of genetic as well as environmental differences, some people may need more of certain vitamins or other essential nutrients than...
...more Derbies (seven) than any other stable, the farm that produced such champions as Citation, Whirlaway and Armed has fallen on hard times recently: not since Tim Tam carried her devil's red and blue silks to victory in the 1958 Derby has Calumet's owner, Mrs. Gene Markey, even entered a horse in the Run for the Roses.
