Nature's next step toward life must have been to make proteins out of accumulated amino acids. Reasoning that parts of the primitive earth's surface may have been fairly hot, Dr. Fox mixed together the 18 amino acids common to the proteins of all living organisms and heated them gently. He got "proteinoids" that behave very much like proteins found in nature. They are digested by natural enzymes and eaten by bacteria. If polyphosphoric acid is added to the mix, the reaction takes place at only 160° F., well below the boiling point of water...
...Johnson the big chance. As a routine matter, the Kennedy company had sent off a batch of wires to delegations, requesting an audience for Jack. Johnson replied with a telegram suggesting a joint caucus of the Texas and Massachusetts delegations and a debate on major issues. Kennedy declined to mix the two and assumed that the debate was off, but Lyndon and his boys, as well as a regiment of newsmen and TV contingents, crowded into the Biltmore's ballroom for what was now billed as something like the Lincoln-Douglas debates. While the crowd waited and Lyndon orated...
...Huntington, L.I., where he plays tennis on a $25,000 enclosed court. Fairchild is a friend of and frequent host to jazz musicians, recently threw a party for Old Friend Hoagy (Star Dust) Carmichael.

His current favorite: a recipe he picked up in Italy for dumplings made with ricotta (Italian cottage cheese) and ground spinach...
...mountaintop house that will one day be occupied by a bachelor novelist (glibly played by Ernie Kovacs) and his mistress of the moment. Douglas has a successful marriage and one little boy, over whose head he is warned by his attractive wife (Barbara Rush) that "martinis don't mix with s-e-x." "What's s-e-x?" inquires the youth. "Is it like Santa Claus?" Daddy, at any rate, is full of the Old Nick. Symbols clank as Douglas and Novak meet at a roadside inn called the Albatross. They drink martinis, and this time, after some...
...success. He wrote speedily-his editors noted that his manuscripts were scarcely ever blotted-and turned out an average of two plays a year. Plots to Shakespeare were like pots to Merlin: any borrowed tub, from Holinshed's Chronicles to Plutarch's Lives, would do to mix the magic in. One of the intellectuals of the day, Robert Greene, addressing his university-trained colleagues, Nashe, Peele and Marlowe, sneered at the "upstart crow, beautified with our feathers." But Londoners worshiped...
