...Bellyful of Politics." The Mirror also trotted out the life story of Tommy Steele, England's answer to Elvis Presley, and a series on the "oh-so-quickly Rising Generation." Almost entirely missing from the paper was any mention of politics. "When you've just had an election," said Cecil King, "the course is set for the next five years. Women readers particularly have had a bellyful of politics." More could be expected of the Mirror in its effort to recapture its youthful appeal. But the question that remained wide open was whether the Daily Mirror, in trying...
...exquisitely complex chemistry of living things, no substances are more important than two that stand on the threshold between nonlife and life: ribonucleic acids (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA). Nothing can live without some kind of RNA, and the kind of RNA it produces, which determines whether it will become an amoeba or a mammoth, is in turn determined by its DNA, the template of heredity. Last week two U.S. physician-scientists were named winners of the 1959 Nobel Prize ($42,606) in medicine for having synthesized giant molecules...
...disrupted as his country by Franco's rebellion, Ochoa left to do research in Germany and England, came to the U.S. in 1940. After a year at St. Louis' Washington University, he joined Manhattan's New York University, intensified his research on enzymes, the catalysts of life.

Brooklyn-born Dr. Arthur Kornberg, 41, graduated from the City College...

When they meet, they talk too much, weep too much, morali e too much. Between whiles, Chéri chiefly features amusing-looking demireps, whose talk is incredibly dull. Eventually Léa. at 60, reaches the age of content, but Chéri kills himself...
...descriptions are sharp and unorthodox (of Il Rosso's Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro: "The half-carnival atmosphere of an insane asylum or of a brothel during a police raid"). Together with the book's superb photographs, such comments have the effect of giving entirely fresh life to tourist memories. The Stones of Florence is in the end a solid tribute to the city and its people past and present, an estimate achieved without the least sentimentality, and free of solemn artiness. Some readers may say that this is not the Florence they saw, but Author McCarthy...
