Global action against ozone depletion marks a major victory in the collaboration between science and social policy, said Dr. David Molina at a luncheon presentation Friday afternoon in Pforzheimer House...
...Molina, a professor of earth, atmospheric and planetary sciences at MIT, was one of the three recipients of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

He doubles over to prevent the loss of drink that occurs when one laughs on an inward sip. "Good one, mate!" he sputters. "I'll tell the wife that one. If I find her..." His reputation for being...
