...ordinary citizens trying to do something for the victims. Committees set up in factories, offices and clubs have got clerical jobs for lawyers who had been forced by Novotný to work in mines, have made taxi drivers out of students who, as punishment, had been condemned to do manual labor...
...early 1950s by Physical Therapist Glenn J. Doman and Psychologist Carl Delacato. To apply the novel technique, they organized Philadelphia's Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. The therapy is based on a highly disputed hypothesis. According to the Doman-Delacato theory, impairment of speech, vision and manual skills can be caused by the interruption of a child's normal progress from creeping to crawling to walking. Discarding standard evaluation systems and using an elaborate diagnostic scheme of their own, Doman and Delacato classify retarded children in three questionable "profile" groups: 1) truly brain-injured. 2) psychotic...
...feminine invasion is most noticeable in blue-collar jobs. Falling birth rates after World War II in many countries created a shortage of the manpower necessary to keep up with the demands of rising economies. Womanpower was a logical solution. Moreover, tests have shown that in such areas as manual dexterity, eye-hand coordination and depth perception, women generally excel...
...that J. D. Watson and company have outlined their construction manual for DNA (deoxribonucleic acid), the carrier of genetic information for all cells, many scientists agree that the best target for further research is RNA (ribonucleic acid). The cell copies specific genetic instructions from the DNA into RNA and then transports the RNA from the nucleus to the cytolpasm. It has not yet been determined how the cell chooses which information to copy and how the RNA is transmitted...
...genetic information. This information is the blueprint that describes how the working parts of the cell, the proteins, should be assembled from 20 building blocks, the amino acids. Thus DNA ultimately determines the cell's function. The DNA's information is transferred to RNA (the cell's working manual), which is chemically like DNA except that it is usually single-stranded. Specific RNA messages ("messenger RNA") are shipped to the cytoplasm and there direct synthesis of the specific proteins...
