Like a chant throughout the book, Grace, in her methodical analytical way states, "We all remember what we need to remember." Even empirical evidence--"Give me the molecular structure of the protein which defined Charlotte Douglas," she demands at the book's beginning--is subject to the internal mechanism in each person which attempts to make life more palatable, spoon-feeding it to us bit by bit, memory by memory. The repeated staccato phrases throughout A Book of Common Prayer, like the responsive readings in a hymn book, form the kernels of the emerging past for Charlotte. Like a slightly...
Then there are the training regimens. (This sure is getting complicated.) Rachel Newton '79 attributed her success to "a little banging of the head against the wall." Ecker felt that his cradling of a stick in lacrosse practice helped, and Orb Sherman said he was on a "high protein, low carbohydrate diet." He explained in between chugs of beer that he had forgotten his "pills" before the match, pulling a bottle of the neglected "One-A-Days" from his pocket...
...from the lung fluid of cows and serum from fetal calves. In effect, the formula fooled the parasite into acting as if it were in a natural host. Yet trypanosomes are exasperatingly fickle creatures. After they invade humans or cattle, they show a chameleon-like ability to change their protein coatings, whose molecular structure serves as a precise signal to the host's immune system for the production of specific antibodies against the invaders. As the immune system begins mustering appropriately shaped antibodies against the trypanosomes, the parasites change their coats and force the immune system to mount...
Tonight through Sunday at Passim (492-7679) you got Larry Croce and William Nininger. Nininger plays contemporary folk; Croce plays mumorous countryish folk, and is best known for "Junk Food Junkie," a song he wrote and recorded about a health food devotee who sneaks high-calorie, low-protein snacks. Shows at 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, 8:30 p.m. only on Thursday and Sunday. Admission is $3.50. Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti reads his poetry next Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. at Passim, admission...
...genetic message instead of the three that now do. With five nucleotides, tRNA molecules-each lugging along its distinctive amino acid-could link up firmly with a messenger RNA molecule (which brings the genetic instructions from the DNA molecule). The amino acids could thus be assembled into the appropriate protein without the aid of a ribosome. Contemporary tRNA molecules, unaided, cannot form a stable linkage with messenger RNA; a ribosome is needed to hold them in place until their amino acids are assembled. While the scientists admit that their concept is "fairly speculative," they note that it can be tested...
