...Max Delbruck, professor of Biology at California Institute of Technology who is known for his pioneering work in molecular biology and genetics, received the degree of Doctor of Science. Kenzo Tange, a Japanese architect, was named Doctor of Arts...
Shoring the Walls. Even the A.M.A. now recognizes health care as a right. But it is still unwilling to go along with Kennedy-Griffiths. Dr. Max Parrott, chairman of the A.M.A.'s board of trustees, describes Kennedy's bill as "rigid" and "monolithic." Parrott and many of his colleagues defend the existing system and seek to eliminate what they see as its most egregious inequity with their tax-credit bill. "Some people are denied health care because of their inability to pay for it," says Dr. Richard S. Wilbur, A.M.A. deputy vice president. "Medicredit will take care...
Construction is also in the wind for the building on 9 Mt. Auburn St., which now houses the El Diablo restaurant. But despite hopeful rumors of a MacDonald's Hamburg shop, both owner Max Wasserman and a spokesman for MacDonald's have denied any plans to bring Ronald MacDonald to the Square...
...only on the molecular level. In their investigations, some used the electron microscope, which revealed details of structure invisible to ordinary optical instruments. Others specialized in X-ray crystallography, a technique for deducing a crystallized molecule's structure by taking X-ray photographs of it from different angles. Physicist Max Delbrück turned to nature for his investigative tools: bacteriophages (literally, "bacteria eaters"), tiny parasitic viruses that invade their host bacteria and rob them of their genetic heritage...
AVENUES OTHER THAN virology are also being explored in the search for a cancer cure. Researchers have long been aware that animal cells growing in a culture medium will stop multiplying once they come in contact with one another. But in some recent experiments at Princeton, Biochemist Max Burger found that when he stripped normal mouse cells of their membranes, they continued to grow wildly?as do cancer cells?even after they had touched. Burger thus speculates that the loss of a cell's protective coating, possibly as a result of viral infection, could lead to cancer by exposing...
