Another Madoff feeder fund was run by Maxam Capital. The head of that firm, Sandra Manzke, a former head of Tremont, has recently been outspoken about misbehavior in the hedge-fund industry. She recently sent a letter out to hundreds of hedge funds berating them for their large fees and for halting client redemptions when funds were down. "I am appalled and disgusted by the activities of a number of hedge-fund managers," she wrote in late November...
...There are only one or two in the field of molecular biology who could propose doing something like this and be taken seriously," says Assistant Professor of Biological Chemistry Allen M. Maxam. "Walter Gilbert is one of them...
...letter to President Reagan, Allan M. Maxam of the Medical School's Dana Farber Cancer Institute explained that the films "are about destructive agents-hydrogen bombs and acidic rain-that could kill trillions of living organism. We assert that the Canadian films are statements of this profound concern and as such can not be propaganda...
...Maxam has been active in efforts to half nuclear rearmament, but it was the combination of the threat of nuclear welfare and the possible surveillance of the films' sponsors that sparked his concern...
Gilbert and Sanger vastly advanced the new technology of recombinant DNA, as it has become known, with their different methods for determining the sequence of nucleotides, or chemical "letters," that carry the message in the long-chained DNA molecules. Gilbert's technique, devised with his Harvard colleague Allan Maxam, is essentially chemical: it uses reagents, or chemical markers, to test for different nucleotides along the molecule. Sanger's is more biological: it employs an enzyme to copy individual "letters" and thus identify them...
