...said that you don't analyze things. But is holding a mirror up to society enough of a stance...
That is some of the circumstantial but rather sexy evidence surrounding Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, in a contention that began in 1920 and has gathered steam through the '80s and '90s. De Vere led a life that was a veritable mirror of Shakespeare's art. Why then did he not write under his own name? It would have been unseemly, his advocates point out, for a courtier to attach his name to public wares. And De Vere was a truly uncommon nobleman: he was the hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain and a sometime favorite of Elizabeth...
...personality that I didn't really show at all, the person who was very committed and devoted and stayed on the inside, but had his own internal life, in which he questioned what was going on. And I felt that in the play the best way to hold the mirror up to the Yeshiva experience was by creating this group of parking lot guys who are detached from what's going on inside and can criticize it freely...
...think they have a better idea. They want to move one step closer to the gene by targeting the RNA molecules that transfer information from genes to proteins. And they have the perfect molecular tool with which to do it. By synthesizing strands of DNA that are the mirror image of the RNA they wish to block, researchers can produce a drug that is more specific than anything else on the market. Because it interrupts the "sense" that the cell is trying to make of the RNA molecule, the new technology is called, appropriately enough, anti-sense...
...system in the first few weeks after the AIDS virus begins its attack on the body. First you download the sequences of perhaps 10,000 genes--every A, C, G and T of the hereditary alphabet--into a computer. Then, still using the computer, you figure out what the mirror image of each sequence would be. (DNA can mirror itself as well as RNA.) The aim is to transform the mirror-sequence data into actual strands of DNA that are planted like rows of corn on the glass bed of a chip. Each strand is built up, letter by letter...
