...detect DNA and RNA, the Army team used acridine orange, a fluorochrome dye that easily unites with the nucleic acids and shines brightly under ultraviolet light. Result: the higher the cell's nucleic acid content, the more intense the fluorescence (green to yellow for DNA, red for RNA). After a few hours of training, a skilled cyto-technologist can spot malignant cells by the intensity of fluorescence he sees in his microscope...
Safe & Superlative. In both spectaculars, which went on the air within four days of each other, Susskind was backing a sure thing.

A few minutes later, walking into the laboratory, he met the same girl...
...Party with Betty Comden and Adolph Green. An infectious romp through movie parodies, songs and skits this talented pair wrote for top musicals, e.g., On the Town, and hilarious sight gags. The mood: New Yorky...
