MARRIED. Dr. Mary I. Bunting, 68, geneticist, president of Radcliffe College (1960-72) and first female member of the Atomic Energy Commission (1964-65); and Dr. Clement A. Smith, 77, professor emeritus of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School; both for the second time; in Cambridge, Mass...
...notice has been served on Rorvik and Lippincott-and, indirectly, on other authors and publishers-that it may well be costly to print as fact books that are fictitious or, even worse, hoaxes. Charging that Rorvik and Lippincott have done just that, Oxford University Geneticist J. Derek Bromhall last week filed a $7 million libel suit against them. Bromhall, a respected scientist, notes that he would not have brought suit had Image been published as fiction. But as nonfiction, he says, the book has "defamed" him by quoting from his research "so as to create the impression that Bromhall...
Lucky for Rorvik. Cancer Researcher Beatrice Mintz called Image "unquestionably a work of fiction." She characterized the book as "mildly amusing, though not in ways intended by the author," and said that it was full of "scientific boners." Charged Geneticist Clement Markert: "Rorvik is guilty of false and misleading advertising." Others noted that no mammals, let alone humans, had yet been cloned. They voiced concern that tracts like Image, passed off as present fact, might cause public reaction against cloning techniques used in cancer, aging and other important medical research...
...having Teddy Ottinger unwittingly rain a pattern of 70 million plague-infested paper lotuses throughout the world while flying the cult's private 707 on what she thought was a promotion tour. Only five people are left: Kalki/Kelly, his wife Lakshmi, her obstetrician, Teddy and a female geneticist named Geraldine. All lower animal life is also spared, presumably to rediscover the peaceable kingdom. The survivors discover that treachery and surprises have not ended with Kali-yuga...
...springs, thrive in temperatures ranging from 65° to 70° C. (150° to 170° F.), take in carbon dioxide and hydrogen, give off methane gas, and have been known to scientists for years. But it took the efforts of a team led by Geneticist Carl Woese of the University of Illinois in Urbana to demonstrate that the archaebacteria had an extraordinary characteristic. Using enzymes, or chemical catalysts, they broke down and then analyzed the RNA in the archaebacteria's ribosomes, the structures that "read" the message of the master molecule DNA and produce the protein necessary...
