...refuse to share their gains-or does it sorely need a unifying national challenge, a moral equivalent of Pearl Harbor? To lead and heal the nation, Richard Nixon will have to marshal immense compassion and intellect. The presidential imperative to comprehend the real forces of the age-and link them constructively to the unique character of the "Citty upon a Hill"-may never have been so difficult...
...They Did It. The Rockefeller researchers, Drs. Robert B. Merrifield and Bernd Gutte, began their experiment with a tiny bead of plastic, onto which they hooked a 124-link chain of amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids, and, because all proteins, including enzymes, are made of amino-acid chains, the acids have been recognized for many years as the "building blocks of life." The exact sequence and identity of successive acids in the ribonuclease chain were recently established, and the Rockefeller team's job was to link them, one at a time. The painstaking process involved...

T. & T. link-up for ten hours of weekly programming costs roughly $450,000 a month, or about three-quarters of NET's total monthly budget. But in 1967, Congress passed a law that 1) permitted the telephone system to cut the rate drastically for educational channels and 2) established a Corporation for Public Broadcasting to help...
