Anderson won the award for his work in detecting the molecules responsible for depleting ozone in the upper atmosphere. Ozone, a derivative of oxygen, absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun which can cause skin cancer...
Anderson has since measured the levels ofatomic oxygen, atomic chlorine, hydroxyl radicalsand bromine monoxide in the stratosphere...
Looking at the piles of rubble and scrap, it is hard to imagine that when it opened in 1978, the Basic Oxygen Process Shop No. 2, known as "the BOP shop," was among the most formidable steelmaking facilities in the world. The two huge Voest-Alpine furnaces could produce up to 2.8 million tons of high- grade carbon steel annually. But soon after Kaiser built the plant (at a cost of $287 million), the company encountered new environmental regulations and rapidly rising union wages that made the mill noncompetitive with overseas producers. Within five years Kaiser shut the plant down...
...proteins. Edsall soon took Anderson under his wing, as author Larry Thompson recounts in Correcting the Code, a forthcoming book about the pioneers of gene therapy. At one of Edsall's seminars, Anderson became intrigued by a visiting British scientist's talk about the hemoglobin molecule, which transports oxygen in the bloodstream. A thought occurred to Anderson, and he blurted it out. "If you could determine its structure," he reasoned out loud, "then you could do the same with sickle hemoglobin and determine what the defect is." And because that structure is determined by genes, he went on excitedly...

Gilbert must satisfy the sexual desires of a tartly cheerful matron (Mary Steenburgen), even as he is drawn to newcomer Becky (Juliette Lewis), a teenager whose ease and freedom seem like fresh oxygen in the coal mine of Gilbert's life...
