...double helix in the spring of 1953 ever contemplated that we might in our lifetime see it completely decoded. All our dreams at the time centered on the next big objective--finding how the four letters of the DNA alphabet (A, T, G and C) spell out the linear sequences of amino acids in the synthesis of proteins, the main actors in the drama of cellular life. As it turns out, the essence of the genetic code and of the molecular machinery that reads it was solidly established by 1966, only 13 years after Francis Crick and I discovered...
...People of the Book fear that the page (and reading and writing) will die. Who will adhere to the linear rationality found in books, new and old? Who will obey rules if books of laws are diminished or replaced by lines of code? Who will turn nicely bound pages when everything is available (almost free) on flickering screens? Perhaps only the rich will read books on paper. Perhaps only a few will pay attention to the wisdom on their pages...
...Haven, Conn., existed on the ninth level of Hell, the resulting scenario would most likely resemble In Between O'Clock by Michael Ragozzino '01. IBOC, as the program refers to the play, attempts to explore the complexity of human identity within the framework of a world dominated by a linear fixation on the passage of time. In The Well, a bar so seedy that even the homeless avoid it, Matthew Circland (Jay Chaffin '01) must confront three alternate manifestations of himself from ages 12, 21 and 42 along with his father and ex-fianc; time no longer exists within...
...Anil is caught in a web woven by an ensemble cast that includes Sarath, his physician brother Gamini, Sarath's former mentors and government officials. In typical Ondaatje fashion, the story's time is not linear, but instead meshes the narrative of her work in Sri Lanka with flashes of her childhood and her affair with a married author. The first major turning point of the story is the pair's discovery of a skeleton, who they dub Sailor...
...Buchloc is wise to point out, Watts is a sculptor of the surface, not of substance. It avoids linear meaning and sculptural formalism, displaying instead a fetishistic obsession with surface textures, transparency, translucency and reflection in works like "Three Clouds" (cubes patterned with cloud images), "Phono Records" (four LPs made of different materials) and, most impressively, his huge array of objects cast in a high-sheen chrome. The series of metallic West African votive dolls are craftily placed together in the penultimate room of the exhibition space, mimicking an ethnographic collection...
