...greatest of man's scientific triumphs has been the discovery of the method by which the genes transmit and translate the message of heredity. Last week, for their ingenious work in breaking the genetic code, U.S. Molecular Biologists Marshall Nirenberg, 41, Har Gobind Khorana, 46, and Robert Holley, 46, were jointly awarded the 1968 Nobel prize for physiology and medicine...
...Cornell, Holley studied both the genetic code and its function in building proteins by analyzing "transfer RNA," a form of ribonucleic acid. RNA collects amino acids floating in the cell and, like a tug towing a barge, pulls them to an assembly site where, in the sequence dictated by the master DNA molecule, they are combined into the appropriate protein. Holley worked out the complete structure of a transfer RNA molecule, demonstrating how it attaches to a particular amino acid and brings it to the growing protein chain at the proper time and place...
Last week in Portsmouth, Va., a Negro dentist, James W. Holley III, 39, became the first non-white ever to win the Democratic nomination for the city council. His victory was swung by a Negro ward that gave him a lopsided 990 ballots v. 114 for two white rivals. Nonetheless, most Negroes were apparently voting for Holley not because he is a Negro but because they-like many whites-respect his long record of participation in community activities. The potential Negro vote may be greatly shrunk by political apathy, born of centuries of disenfranchisement and ignorance, and mirrored...

...while it appeared that Holley, 39, a former minority leader in the Florida house of representatives, might give Burns a real run for his money. Holley gave reporters "photocopies" of bank ledgers purporting to show that Burns had a secret Nassau bank account of $1,215,690. To refute the charge, Burns flew with reporters to the island, marched them into the Bank of Nova Scotia branch on Bay Street, and proved to everyone's satisfaction that Holley's documents were phony. From then on, Burns's election was a cinch...
