Died. William Ernest Castle, 94, early U.S. geneticist, longtime professor of zoology at Harvard, who in the 1900s extended from plants to mammals the Mendelian theory of inherited characteristics through inbuilt factors (then unknown as genes); in Berkeley, Calif...
...Bunting's imagination and Institute and the House proof enough. But like most with a talent for organization, Radcliffe's president wants to control the programs she initiates. In the years, the undergraduate has more and more to feel a the bacteria Mrs. Bunting in her role as a geneticist. she urges students to express their views on everything from meal educational policy, Mrs. Bunting unwilling to acknowledge any of "the special needs of the students" that differs radically from her own. She wants the undergraduates to become self-conscious, to and re-shape their education, and insists...
Stowaways Inside. Chief source of U.S. concern about stowaway "exobiota" (extraterrestrial life) is famed Nobel Prize-winning Geneticist Joshua Lederberg, 32, of Stanford. Lederberg is immensely nappy that the "blacksmiths" who fashion space hardware are still too clumsy to send manned expeditions to Mars or Venus. Crews that return from a foreign planet, says he, will be potential dangers to all life on earth. Though their ship may be sterilized inside and outside before re-entering the earth's atmosphere, it will be impossible to sterilize the men themselves. Like even the healthiest humans, the space travelers will...
Lederberg expects his no-return lab to reach the moon about 1964; a more sophisticated package of life-seeking instruments should be landed on Mars about 1967. The worried geneticist is especially pleased to hear from the space blacksmiths that manned, two-way journeys even to the moon will be unlikely for at least a decade. By the time the first human starts home from Mars, the earth's biologists should know enough about Martian life to keep it from damaging life on the home planet...
...Mary I. Bunting, 51, mother, microbiologist, and the new president of Radcliffe College. U.S. girls, she thinks, grow up in "a climate of unexpectation," willing to be educated but convinced by "hidden dissuaders" that they will not really use their education. Mrs. Bunting, who describes herself as "a geneticist with nestbuilding experience," finds unexpectation hidden everywhere. As she puts...
