Stroke's process, developed under a grant from the National Science Foundation, promises to make molecular structures visible. Stroke had been experimenting since 1963 with new ways to utilize holography. But it was not until about a year ago that he and his colleagues-Maurice Halioua, Venugopal Srinivasan and Raghupathy Sarma-hit upon their potentially revolutionary process. Explains Stroke: "We realized that a crystal, in which the atoms are arranged in a repeating array, can be made to produce a sort of hologram, a three-dimensional display of data. What we've figured...
Matthew S. Meselson, chairman of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department and one of the research's foremost proponents, could not be reached for comment...
...Flowers Book Store at 15 Pearl St., walk inside, and you're there. Music on Fridays and Sundays only; this week it's Dean McGraw with folk and blues from 8:30 to 11:00 pm on Friday, and "open music"--something like open book, I understand, but no molecular models or calculators allowed--on Sunday from 3:00 pm to closing. Call 661-1640 to figure this...
...assessing the hazards will ultimately be provided by the accumulation of experience with recombinants. But meanwhile we should not act as though we are entering this new territory with no knowledge to guide us: we have a good deal of pertinent information from evolution and from epidemiology. To molecular biologists who have seen one deep mystery after another in other areas of biology settled by the extremely hard data that their field provides, the evolutionary considerations that I shall invoke may seem like mere hand-waving. But in this light nearly all of Darwin's arguments, based on inferences about...
...there is no drollery in his discussions of life's end. Like a man describing an old colleague, Selzer watches death at work. "You do not die all at once," observes the surgeon. "Some tissues live on for minutes, even hours, giving still their little cellular shrieks, molecular echoes of the agony of the whole corpus . . . There are outposts where clusters of cells yet shine, besieged, little lights blinking in the advancing darkness. Doomed soldiers, they battle on. Until Death has secured the premises all to itself...
