...other introductory biology course before this year and think they learned about DNA replication in those classes will be surprised by Watson's new chapter on DNA duplication. DNA replication is often presented as the unwinding and subsequent rewinding of linear complementary ploy-nucleotide strands of DNA. However, this chapter now offers the Rolling Circle model of DNA replication, a complex model of revolving, duplicating circular DNA strands. Evidence is also given for the transition from linear DNA into these circular strands. Dr. David Dressler, a research fellow in the Watson-Gilbert labs here who was active in developing...
...toughest part was living with Manson. Enraged when the judge called him "incompetent" to run his defense, and well aware that the climate against him was overwhelming, Manson weeks ago devised a weird ploy that no lawyer, even a bad one, could abide. The guru determined that the girls from his "family" should take the stand, sweetly confess all and say that he had nothing to do with it. Then Manson would testify, both to confirm his innocence and tell the world his special truths. Fitzgerald vainly argued the obvious: not only would the girls be convicted, but Manson would...

Hartwick did not fill the field with fullbacks in the second half to prevent any Harvard scoring. Most college teams would have resorted to this defensive ploy. Instead, Hartwick continued to attack...
...Baltimore women, though, was no help to the Cincinnati wives. They knew that nothing is worse than a losing outfit. Mrs. Jim McGlothlin polished her fingernails just before going to the ballpark, then proceeded to peel off the polish as an antidote to nail biting. It is a ploy that Merle Hendricks, wife of Oriole Catcher Elrod, could have used: she gnawed her nails throughout the Series. Oriole Pitcher Dave McNally got one kiss goodbye and one kiss for good luck on the day he pitched. Should McNally have felt more amorous, it would have been to no avail...
...Boston, the Sack moviehouse chain is also attempting to cash in on feminine revolt against the male chauvinist pigskin fan with a special cut-rate Monday-night admission price ($1.99 v. $3). No box-office figures are in yet on that ploy, and the long-term impact of prime-time football on show business-and on American home life-is also still undetermined. ABC's only beef so far is that the audience figures, encouraging as they are, do not include an estimated 250,000 additional males catching the Monday games at the corner...
