...Last January, after a student sit-in cancelled a Faculty meeting in Paine Hall, the Faculty voted for lighter punishment for the demonstrators than the Ad Board had recommended. In February, the Faculty passed a ROTC resolution that was more explicitly political than one proposed...
...lunar rock were delivered by midweek to eager scientists at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory (LRL). Although a thick coat of clinging dust prevented immediate detailed observation, geologists could see that several of the rocks were igneous-formed out of molten material like lava. They were also of a lighter hue than the brownish gray Apollo 11 rocks from the Sea of Tranquility-and much larger. The biggest of these "grapefruits," as Conrad had called them, weighed as much as four pounds and were about six inches long and five inches wide. Said a pleased Dan Anderson, curator...
...reported last week in Nature. Once the two strains of virus had finished raiding the bacteria, the experimenters dissolved their protein sheaths, exposing their raw DNA molecules (Step 1 in diagram). Next, the scientists heated the dissimilar DNA molecules, causing each double helix to unwind and separate into one lighter and one heavier strand. Taking only the heavier strand from each virus, the researchers placed them in the same test tube, reheated them and then cooled them slowly, a process that causes two chemically complementary strands of DNA to combine in a double helix. But the two strands were complementary...
Early Impressionism. The Manet On the Beach is also an unusual work: an important example of the artist's conversion, in midcareer, to the informal open-air painting now known as Impressionism. Painted during the summer of 1873 on the seacoast of Berck-sur-Mer, its lighter palette and sketchier treatment present a striking departure from the indoor lighting and carefully worked-up details of the earlier, sensational Le déjeuner sur I'hérbe-an outdoor scene painted in the studio. Even the Rousseau is a little offbeat, though the famous Sunday painter of imaginary...
Anthony Quinn plays the part of Bombolini. His performance is masterful, but Bombolini lacks the depth of Zorba. As a result, one sees only the exuberant, happy-go-lucky, lighter side of Oumn's talents. Still, he does marvelous things with his face. Since the Germans expect him to lie, Bombolini must seem to lie about some things, without giving away the secret of the wine. In these scenes between the German commander and Bombolini, Quinn grins and grimaces, feigns shock and disbelief, moans, sighs and laughs. Anything to save the wine...
