...aerodynamics, the design of better airplanes. But the work of Nobel Chemist Linus Pauling is of a more rarefied order. The foremost pioneer in applying the quantum theory to the study of chemical bonds, he found that the "resonance" of the atom is the source of the forces that hold molecules together. He discovered the alpha helix as the fundamental feature of many proteins, went on to explore the architecture of protein, the fundamental substance of living organisms. On the surface, such work often seems remote from practicality, but it has helped chemists find the necessary techniques to create hundreds...
...gain of 1.5 percent pushed Social Relations past Economics into fourth place with a figure of 7.9. Economics, in fifth place, dropped from 9.2 of the class of '57 to 7.4 of '58. Engineering and Applied Physics, termed Applied Science last year, climbed from 5.9 percent to 6.4 to hold sixth place...
...years of bitter poverty Mrs. Patrick Brown, a Dublin bricklayer's wife, bore 22 children, but only 13 lived. Halfway down the line came Christy. He could not hold his head up and his mouth, was lopsided. His hands jerked violently with no coordination; his right leg was equally useless. Doctors told Mrs. Brown that Christy was an imbecile (actually he had cerebral palsy from a brain injury before or during birth) and that his case was hopeless. With the medical knowledge of the early 1930s, the doctors were not far wrong...
...After leading all the way on the dead, calm waters of the Severn, Navy's varsity crew was still able to take the stroke up to a backbreaking 40 per minute to hold off Cornell's closing sprint, cross the finish line 6 ft. in front and win its 31st straight race. (Last defeat: in the I.R.A. Regatta, June...
...Douglas and Lockheed orders meant that U.S. airlines have decided to hold off on jet transports, probably until 1960. It will take at least five, possibly seven, years for them to amortize their costly new fleets of piston-engined craft, some of which will not even be delivered until 1957. Furthermore, there is little likelihood that a U.S. jet transport will be on the market for some time to come. In Washington last week, Air Force Assistant Secretary Roger Lewis told Boeing Airplane Co., which had hoped to turn out a commercial version of its giant KC-135 jet tanker...
