...retain the controversial line, prompting criticism from Rabbi A. James Rudin of the American Jewish Committee, who is calling for a completely new play that "should reflect the reality of the 'cursed' Jewish people living in a reborn and independent state of Israel." Co-directors Christian Stuckl and Otto Huber, who worked closely with Jewish groups on the text, were also unhappy about the line's retention. "The effect of this sentence through the centuries was a very bad one," acknowledges Huber. Citing Christian theologians, Huber argues that the blood curse is really a reference to the saving power...
...after day new throngs poured in. There were so many abandoned Trabant and Wartburg automobiles on Prague streets that police began towing away any vehicle with East German stickers on it. On Tuesday, Ambassador Hermann Huber ordered the embassy gates closed when the refugee population had reached 5,000, then hours later, as the night turned bitterly cold, reopened them to families with children. A new round of departures was scheduled and then delayed. East German officials, moreover, insisted that the second group of trains make the trip from Prague to the West German city of Hof at night, rendering...
...holding companies -- Bankers Trust New York, Chase Manhattan, Citicorp, J.P. Morgan and Security Pacific -- to buy and sell corporate bonds. The decision will enable the financial institutions to move, within strict limits, onto the turf of Wall Street firms, which have been encroaching on the banking business. Said Richard Huber, an executive vice president at Chase Manhattan: "We're very pleased. We applaud...
...weeks the scientific rumor mills had anticipated the winners of the chemistry prize. So when Robert Huber, the managing director of the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry near Munich, received his telephone call from Sweden, the champagne was readily at hand. Huber, 51, and fellow West Germans Johann Deisenhofer, 45, and Hartmut Michel, 40, were recognized for revealing the "atom by atom" structure of the molecule at the heart of photosynthesis, the process by which sunlight is converted into the chemical energy that fuels plant and animal life...
...however, Michel was able to isolate the protein cluster from the membrane and concentrate it into its crystalline form. For the next three years, at Huber's direction, the researchers used X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of the protein cluster's 10,000 atoms. The laborious research opens the possibility that someday scientists will be able to produce solar cells that mimic the design of photosynthesizing molecules...
