...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...
That was how James D. Watson, professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, described the genesis of The Double Helix, his controversial bestseller about the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule...

...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...
...They mix together," volunteers one student. "They expand and contract," says another. How about constructing a model, suggests Teacher Daniel Cieslik: "Should it look like a big wad of cotton? That expands and contracts." By prodding and questioning, Cieslik eventually gets the class to focus on the rapid molecular motion that characterizes gases...
