...Jesus arise bodily from the grave on the first Easter? "I would not exclude such a resurrection as within the range of possibility," says a visiting professor of New Testament studies at West Germany's Gottingen University. Nothing surprising in that, except for the fact that the scholar in question is Pinchas Lapide, an Orthodox Jew. Over the centuries Judaism has considered Jesus to be no more than a great teacher...
...most students and faculty are quick to disavow terrorism, they also charge that the government is overreacting-particularly against students-in an atmosphere of hysteria. "Oh God!" cried one Berlin student after learning of the Schleyer kidnaping. "One step closer to a fascist state." When a lampoon appeared at Gottingen University with a "non-obit" for Schleyer, tastelessly referring to his limited options of a "shabby life" or a "shabby death," police staged a three-hour search of the student-government building, its printing offices and two apartments. They seized 33 copies of the pamphlet, and the university rector...
...apparently in retaliation, two gunmen went to the home of the president of the West Berlin Supreme Court, Gunter von Drenkmann, and shot him down when he opened the door. A bomb went off (harmlessly) in the garden of another judge in Hamburg, and eight firebombings occurred in Gottingen. So far, there have been no arrests...
...speed with which these cells can carry out their chemical transactions is, quite literally, mind-boggling. Manfred Eigen, 46, director of Germany's noted Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Gottingen, has found that some of the brain's chemical reactions take as little as one-millionth of a second. As many as 100,000 neurons may be involved in transmitting the information that results in as simple an action as stepping back to avoid being struck by an oncoming car. The entire process occurs in less than a second...
...Passionate Physicist Max Born was a physicists' physicist. As head of the University of Gottingen's prestigious Institute of Theoretical Physics in the pre-Nazi era, he was one of the pillars of the flourishing German scientific community. A brilliant teacher, he attracted many of the great names of the atomic era-Oppenheimer, Teller, Fermi-to Göttingen's lecture halls and laboratories. Equally communicative outside the university, he produced a flood of books and essays to unravel the complex new physics for an uncomprehending public. But Born, who died in Göttingen last week...
