DIED. MAX PERUTZ, 87, groundbreaking molecular biologist; in Cambridge, England. Perutz and colleague John Kendrew won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for uncovering the structure of the organic molecule hemoglobin, a key to transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide through the body...
...Monster; in Los Angeles. Nader's soon-to-be-published book, The Perils of Paul, gives an inside look into Hollywood's gay community. DIED. MAX PERUTZ, 87, scientist who won the 1962 Nobel Prize in chemistry for mapping out the molecular structure of human hemoglobin with colleague John Kendrew; in Cambridge, England. Perutz's work laid the foundation for human genome and disease research. DIED. CLAUDE BROWN, 64, author of Manchild in the Promised Land, which closely follows his own experiences growing up among killers, prostitutes and drug addicts on the streets of Harlem in the 1950s...
...their point they enlisted 58 scientists to discuss what was unknown in their fields. The co-editors quickly discovered that "the more eminent they were, the more ready to run to us with their ignorance." Some of the contributors are indeed eminent: Molecular Biologists Francis Crick and Sir John Kendrew. Chemist Linus Pauling (all Nobel laureates), Anthropologist Donald Johanson, Astronomers Sir Hermann Bondi and Thomas Gold, Physicist John Wheeler. The conundrums they pose are also notable. How did the universe come into being? Why do we sleep? How are galaxies formed? What is consciousness? Why does a species become extinct...
ANDREW and Paul Tracey, the brothers who started the whole thing as a last-minute fill-in for a vacant slot at a Johannesburg theatre, play the show as if they had never seen it before. Equally enthusiastic is Kendrew Lascelles, the chief comic, who also devised some of the choreography. Mr. Lascelles, periodically strolling on stage wearing a floor-length black coat and carrying a tuba that he cannot play, looks like a banana waiting to be peeled. He also has a way of bunching up his entire torso into his breast, a trick he's likely to pull...
Perutz' X-ray studies of hemoglobin have not yet reached the same high degree of resolution and show far less detail than Kendrew's X-ray analysis of myoglobin, which Perutz says "opened a rich mine of stereochemical information about protein structure...
