Segregated Compounds. To prepare a bacterial chromatogram, Scientists Alexander and Gould use a pure strain of bacteria, allow them to grow for several hours in a nutrient solution, then extract the metabolic products that have been excreted. These are injected into a chromatograph, where they are converted by heat into gaseous form and fed into a column containing a packing material and an organic liquid such as Carbowax-a chemical that has a different attraction for the molecules of each chemical compound. Thus every compound that passes through the column is slowed to a degree...
...Exalted, the Sublime Majesty, the Imperial Son of Heaven of Dai Nippon, is that none of his rigorous childhood lessons really stuck. When he was 14, he threw his history teacher into a flap by stating that he thought most of the details of his supposedly divine descent were pure moonshine. They had to be, he pointed out politely, because they were biologically unsound and physically impossible...
Challenged in 1948 by Democrat Paul O'Dwyer, the mayor's brother, Javits flooded the district with pamphlets, a comic book that showed him disarming a deranged gunman and saving the neighborhood (pure fantasy), even a brochure in Armenian for the handful of voters who spoke the language. He won by a bare 1,873 votes. It was never quite as harrowing again. In 1950, his margin rose...
...newest heroes are scientists. Though inventors such as Eli Whitney, Edison or Bell have long been acknowledged, only Einstein among the pure scientists held a place in the U.S. consciousness until World War II. Today the roster would be long, studded with such names as Teller, Oppenheimer and Waksman. Another set of latter-day heroes are physicians, whose list would include Drs. Fleming, DeBakey, Salk and Paul Dudley White. Among businessmen, only Henry Ford has achieved anything like heroic dimensions, although such magnates as Astor and Carnegie were heroes to their day. The values of commerce, no matter how much...
Actually, the system used at Forest Hills was only half-VASSS. Pure VASSS resembles table-tennis scoring: each successful shot earns one point, match is 31, and the player who reaches 31 first must have a two-point margin to win-otherwise, the match goes into an eight-point overtime. Service changes hands after every five points. On fast surfaces such as grass, big serves are discouraged either by 1) limiting the players to one serve per point, or 2) making them serve from a line 3 ft. behind the base line...
