Freshmen who want to live in Quincy will not apply now, but next spring in the regular House admissions process. They will be interviewed by Bullitt at that time...
Even more important was Lederberg's later discovery that viruses preying on bacteria can change the heredity of their victims. In this process, which is called transduction, a virus invades a bacterium, breaks it up and reorganizes its material into hundreds of new virus particles. If these particles in turn infect another bacterium and it survives, they sometimes change it into a new strain. Apparently the viruses, acting somewhat like submicroscopic spermatozoa, take hereditary material from the first bacterium and transfer it to the second...
...automakers, who will make up their minds on the new process in the next two months, have privately indicated they will adopt it. If they do, they will be able to keep right up with changing consumer taste...
...Electric Way. Traditionally, dies and similar metal products have been made by the slow process of grinding away the metal to fit a pattern. Using the Elox method, a die shape can be formed first in wood or plaster, then sprayed with a soft metal. When the metal hardens, it is used as an electrode, i.e., conducts the electric current. When the electrode is placed close to a piece of metal and the current applied, the metal is vaporized to the same shape as the electrode pattern. With this process the hardest metals have been shaped as easily as cast...
...State graduate engineer, took over. He had become interested after he purchased one of the machines for a business he was running, began buying the company patents with $5,000 in 1950. At the time, Elox machines were being used only to salvage engine blocks, and similar parts. The process was too crude to be used in other machine work, so Larkins worked to develop the process, refined it to the point where he could machine metals to millionths of an inch in accuracy...
