...found to carry specific amino acids floating in the cytoplasm to the ribosomes; this substance became known as transfer RNA. Then in the early 1960s, biologists discovered a third kind of RNA?shortly after its existence had been theorized by Jacques Monod and François Jacob of France's Pasteur Institute. Called messenger RNA, it provided the missing piece in the molecular puzzle. It was formed on an uncoiled strip of DNA in the nucleus, imprinted with the particular "message" encoded in that portion?or gene?of the staircase, and then sent off with these instructions to the protein-making...
...greater proportion of carbon 13 than would be present in earthly organic matter. It also found a mixture of hydrocarbons curiously like that produced in experiments simulating the conditions of a primitive planetary atmosphere. The most compelling evidence was the nature of the amino acids themselves. Ever since Louis Pasteur's day, chemists have known that the atoms of organic compounds like amino acids can be assembled in two ways-one a mirror image of the other. Yet except for those made artificially, most amino-acid molecules found on earth have a "lefthanded" configuration; that is, beams of polarized...
...America calls Kelsonian theory "a forward-looking concept designed to preserve our enterprise system." Kelso himself seems convinced that his time has come. "I let the genie out of the bottle, and it's not going back," he says. "What did the French College of Surgeons call Pasteur? A mere chemist. I think that I am the Pasteur of finance...
...years of marching and demonstrating and some serious losses, you have not been able to force the world to accede to your demands for peace. After just five years, you have not been able to bring about that which others have been working toward for centuries. Thank goodness Lister, Pasteur and Salk didn't feel that way. What bloodbath would India have suffered had Gandhi turned from pacifism to violence after five years? If you had an ill or handicapped child, would you destroy doctors and hospitals because they could find no immediate cure...
...Humanity will not be happy until the last capitalist is hanged with the entrails of the last bureaucrat." The stone bust of Auguste Comte, the 19th century French philosopher-reformer who coined the term sociology, was draped with a red bandanna; a red flag adorned the statue of Louis Pasteur. Inside, in jampacked auditoriums, thousands applauded allright debates that ranged over every conceivable topic, from the "anesthesia of affluence" to the elimination of "bourgeois spectacles" and how to share their "revolution" with the mass of French workers. Speaker after speaker demanded that the sit-ins continue until demands for academic...
