Fotis C. Kafatos, assistant professor of Biology and popular lecturer in Biology 15b, has spent the last two years investigating the cellular and molecular aspects of cell differentiation (how the cell decides what role it will play). Kafatos, a 28-year-old Greek citizen, has already published a dozen scientific communications which have received international attention. The editors of Nature cited his scientific promise and the crucial nature of his work in a rare burst of praise in the May, 1967, issue. Born in Crete, he came to America immediately after high school and enrolled at Cornell University. He finished...
...lead to insufficient production of a normal metabolic product, or to its inadequate utilization, or to a too rapid rate of destruction. "I believe," says Pauling, "that mental disease is for the most part caused by abnormal reaction rates, as determined by genetic constitution and diet, and by abnormal molecular concentrations of essential substances. Significant improvement in the mental health of many persons might be achieved by the provision of the optimum molecular concentrations of substances normally present in the human body...

...center of a bare stage reveals itself to be 28 male and female dancers in chalk-white garments that look like winter underwear. Slowly they writhe, rise, and begin to surge about the stage, combining and recombining, touching and turning, with arms and legs outstretched like diagrams of molecular linkage or a microscopic view of the proliferation of cells-an impression heightened by bright white crosslighting...
