...Molecules do not look like this, of course. The atoms in them are much too small to be seen, even with an electron microscope. The pattern shown is a small part, somewhat simplified, of the DNA molecule, which geneticists now believe is the carrier of heredity and the chemical master of all life. If all of this seems to bring up some questions about the unfolding mysteries of heredity, see SCIENCE, The Secret of Life...
...scarred boss of the seamen's National Maritime Union (membership: 40,000), and Captain (tugboat) William Bradley, 55, paunchy president of the evil-smelling International Longshoremen's Association (membership: 52,000), which was thrown out of the A.F.L. five years ago. The three men kicked off the master plan by signing a "conference" pact for the purpose of "discussing and settling jurisdictional disputes, matters of mutual concern and matters affecting progress and stability in the transportation industry." Among those who will be invited to attend the August meeting: Red-Lining Harry Bridges, boss of the West Coast...

There were better helmsmen available, critics argued, than Sceptre's 34-yearold skipper, Lieut. Commander Graham Mann, onetime sailing master for the royal family. As a matter of fact, some added, there were altogether too many navymen in the challenger's afterguard. They acted as if they knew it all, and were slow to get down to serious training...
Died. Donald W. Sorrell, 64, onetime skipper (retired since 1956) of the Queen Mary, who, during the New York tugboat strike of 1953, displayed his master seamanship by turning on the knuckle of Manhattan's Pier 90, bending his behemoth of the seas into her slip without the services of the usual flotilla of tugs; of a heart ailment; in Southampton, England...
