Joining Landau as Nobel Laureates last week were British Scientists Dr. John Cowdery Kendrew, 45, and Dr. Max Ferdinand Perutz, 48, of Cambridge's Laboratory of Molecular Biology, who shared the Nobel award for chemistry. After involved experiments using X rays, Perutz and Kendrew mapped the complex three-dimension architecture of two protein molecules-hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and myoglobin, which delivers oxygen to muscles. This achievement is an important early step toward a more complete understanding of proteins, the building blocks of all life...
...chemists synthesize life? Not quite yet. But famed Biochemist Gerhard Schramm of the Max Planck Institute for Virus Research at Tubingen, Germany, is coming remarkably close. Last month he told a conference at Munich that he has managed with simple chemicals to build nucleic acid, the most vital compound in living organisms-and he used the same processes that are thought to have created the first life on earth...
...expect the HSA will sell me my ring and beer mug, type my thesis, and perhaps print my diploma. Its centralization of these things is fine, but centralization of entertainers is an unfortunate overextension of interests, and no service at all. Max Byrd...
...Mingus and others, jazz is far more than music. It is a shared heritage, a symbol of achievement, a language in which to tell what Negro Drummer Max Roach calls "the dramatic story of our people and what we've been through." It is also a private language. Through jazz, Negro Pianist Billy Taylor points out, the Negro has always been able "to say many things musically that would never have been accepted by a white American had he verbalized them...
...consideration, but Crow Jim is, especially among the angry young men who are passionately involved in the rise of Negro nationalism. Jazz compositions these days bear titles like A Message from Kenya (Art Blakey), Uhuru Afrika (Randy Weston), Africa Speaks, America Answers (Guy Warren), Afro-American Sketches (Oliver Nelson). Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite-We Insist includes tunes like Tears for Johannesburg, a lament for the Africans shot down in the Sharpeville massacre. To younger jazzmen, a great musician like Louis Armstrong is suspect-instead of hopping on the freedom bus he has been content to remain...
