...means of delivering his African subjects from "this terrible plague." Working not for the prize but for humanity, investigators at Manhattan's Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research began an intensive search for a cure. Drs. Walter A. Jacobs and Michael Heidelberger juggled chemical groups into new molecular combinations. In 1915, they found tryparsamide. Physicians Wade H. Brown and Louise Pearce concluded from tests on animals that this was just what they needed...
While his lectures are memorable for their humor alone, it is Nash's interest in students that has made Chemistry 2 and Natural Science 4 so popular during the past five years. Remembering his own undergraduate tussles with gram-atoms and molecular weights, he turns his sympathy for student confusion into an active program of help. Although he has an audience of several hundred, Nash frequently stops lectures to answer questions from the floor. Often he climbs on a chair in the front row to ask what is troubling a boy looking puzzled in the back of the lecture room...
While it is the second title on the marquee, Go West, Young Girl is better than its molecular co-feature. This re-release stars Glenn Ford as a bumbling sheriff and Penny Singleton as a squeaky-voiced heroine. With sentimental ballads like, "Take Your Time, Little Dogie" and a female back-room brawl, Go West, Young Girl is a surprisingly enjoyable parody of Western movies...
Vitamins. In 1934, Merck's head of research, Dr. Randolph Major, got a call from Biochemist Robert Runnells Williams. Said Williams: "I've isolated a minute quantity of B1." Would Merck be interested in supplying him with more of the natural substance, helping to establish its molecular structure, and maybe trying to synthesize...
Studying this method, Land realized that the process might work better on the molecular scale. He finally worked out a means in which a sheet of polyvinyl alcohol a thick plastic--was stretched. In the stretching, the molecules of the plastic would align themselves with their poles in the same direction. Land had a cheap, permanent device that was far more efficient, both in the transmission and the exclusion of light, than was its crystal predecessor...
