...isolate the represser, Biophysicist Walter Gilbert and Biochemist Benno Muller-Hill decided to work with a species of simple bacteria called Escherichia coli, which have a healthy appetite for lactose, a sugar found in milk. The scientists knew that when lactose was available, the bacteria cells produced an enzyme that broke the sugar down into two simpler sugars that the cells could use. When only other nutrients were present, however, the amount of this enzyme was drastically reduced; a repressor apparently turned off the gene that controlled its production...
...maintained that any public funds for education had to go to public schools only: Catholics argued for a share for parochial schools. This deadlock effectively prevented federal aid to education, although since World War II exceptions began to appear-first in public bus service, then in publicly-paid-for milk for parochial schools. When the Johnson Administration in 1965 devised a bill under which parochial schools did receive federal aid-in the shape of textbooks and many other classroom facilities-there was no major Protestant opposition. And there may be little objection to more direct aid for parochial schools...
...coast, Salvador, Brazil's oldest and fifth largest city (850,000 people) is the quintessence of African Brazil, a mellow, languorous city of rich, luminous colors that smells of dende oil, coconut milk and malagueta pepper and resounds to the throaty, metal-stringed strum of the African berimbau. To the north, once-sleepy Belem has turned into a throbbing mainstream of the Amazon's economic life, thanks to the highway linking it to Brasilia. In the remote Amazon city of Manaus, Brazil's fabled old turn-of-the-century rubber capital, life moves almost as languidly...
...power to kill microorganisms. Litton Industries Biologist Carl M. Olsen has found that wrapped bread exposed to microwaves just before leaving the bakery remains free of mold for ten days, twice as long as bread treated only with a chemical preservative. Microwaves have also been used to pasteurize milk, beer and wine. Scientists have proposed a mobile microwave source that could be slowly moved across a farm field, generating enough energy to destroy harmful microorganisms before planting...
...help hearing about hearing that hush-"the sounds of lovers in love." The sunny troubadors are Herman's Hermits who also sing such post-nursery rhymes as Little Miss Sorrow, Child of Tomorrow, If You're Thinkin' What I'm Thinkin' and No Milk Today...
