...real origin of this concern was the discovery in 1953 at Cambridge University by Watson and Dr. Francis Crick that the pattern of all life forms is determined by a double-helical molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Since then other investigators have found ways of cutting a long nucleic-acid molecule, by chemical means, into shorter pieces that can then be recombined...
Private Lives has an exotic origin, an erotic icing, and a moronic plot which forces director Peter D. Arnott and his chief actors, William Franklin Hutson and Jan Lewis, to scramble desperately to salvage a basically nebbish play. Noel Coward, the first English playwright to introduce Henry Ford's assembly line production techniques to theater, wrote the comedy in 1930 while in Shanghai seemingly to pose a challenge: Who could take his featherweight literary sedative about marriage and sex in English high society and transform it into an exciting and riotous evening's entertainment? The Tufts Summer Theater company...
...matter how abstract in appearance Miró's paintings become, they are rarely so in origin. What he would like to do is turn the process around: instead of nature generating art, "the picture should be fecund. It must bring a world to birth." In Miró's view, it can do so if it is animistic enough...
...well-known British psychic." His colleague Stearn Robinson is somewhat more ambiguously qualified as an interpreter of omens: she was a New York advertising woman and radio scriptwriter, listed on the book jacket as the inventor of the "integrated commercial." Their advice is to ignore dreams with a digestive origin and recurrent dreams too: these are certain to have a physiological or psychological basis and are thus without interest as portents...
Neither Cameron nor Morelli is willing to claim categorically that their bacteria are the world's oldest living organisms. But if the ancient origin of the bacteria is finally established, it will have great implications for scientists searching for life on Mars. Even if the Viking Landers, which are scheduled to visit Mars in 1976, find no evidence of life on the planet's dry and frigid terrain, the Antarctic discovery holds out hope that living organisms-perhaps dormant-might still exist beneath the Martian surface...
