...precarious exercise to climb a ladder to a gallery while carrying the delicate crystals with which she worked. But whatever the circumstances, she maintained an elegance of appearance and achievement. No distraction was enough to spoil the work that led to a thorough knowledge of the penicillin molecule, and to the discovery of the structure of Vitamin B12, the recalcitrant molecule with a cobalt atom heart that is essential to human life...
John Clark Sheean, professor of Chemistry at M.I.T. and the man who first synthesized penicillin, said scientists oppose Goldwater because he "sees the solutions to the world's problems in terms of the application of force...
...right-hand man and been named to the board of directors-at 23. In 1947 Jeanne, who was not a Christian Scientist, underwent an operation for ulcerative colitis that was deemed successful.

Surgeon Kaye set to work to clean out what seemed like a purulent cyst, and in it he found a white maggot, almost an inch long. Two days later, he removed another maggot. The Department of Agriculture's Entomologist Richard P. Higgins identified...
