...Virus Laboratory of the University of California, two researchers announced this week that they have taken an infectious virus apart and reduced it to a mixture of utterly dead chemicals, then put it together and made it infectious again. Drs. H. Fraenkel-Conrat and Robley C. Williams do not want it said that they have "created life"; a simple virus is alive in a special sense only. But they do believe that they have come closer to one of science's major aims-knowing the nature of life. Says Dr. Williams: "We have no doubt that eventually we will...
...trouble with this method is that the bodies dry flat, squashing down to thin, distorted films. Last week Professor (of biophysics) Robley C. Williams of the University of California told of a better method. He puts a film of collodion on a copper disk cooled with liquid air (temp. ~377-6° F.). Then he sprays his microorganisms on the cold film. They freeze solid in a flash. When he pumps the air from around them, their moisture passes directly from ice to vapor, leaving their empty husks in the exact shapes they had at the instant they were frozen...

Acting as an informal referee, Dr. Shields Warren, the A.E.C.'s top radiation expert, sided with Evans but called it "a matter of opinion...

Two days before the big banquet at Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria he had taken a dose of radioactive iodine; now handsome, scholarly Dr. Robley D. Evans, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, would demonstrate how the substance, a product of atomic research, could combat cancer of the thyroid...
