Marion plans to use John Livingston, Dave Konney and Jim Standefer to fence sabre. Fencing epee will be Bill Plerskalla, Walter Rawis and Bob Serivner, while Paul Forand, Steve Schneider and Serge Sanger will fence foil...
Even as they talked, one woman who always speaks her mind, Birth-Controller Margaret Sanger, became the first American woman ever to address members of the Japanese Diet. Armed with a load of information about new drugs and contraceptives, she urged the scientists and statesmen of rapidly expanding Japan (population increase: 1,000,000 yearly) to redouble their efforts to ease at least one of woman's burdens...
...Margaret Sanger, 60-year-old founder of the Planned Parenthood movement, returned to Manhattan highly pleased with the results of a series of conferences in Japan and India. Said she: "People are more ready for birth-control methods than we are able to provide for them. Education is no longer the problem...
Finding out how the pieces fitted back together was much harder. Sometimes Sanger and his group would find in their analysis some substance that does not appear in the known chemistry of living things. This, they decided, must be a taillike fragment knocked off some larger fragment. They would shift it around, like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle, until they found a spot where it could be placed to form a familiar compound. Little by little, their picture of the insulin molecule took on detail. At last they were sure they knew where each building block belonged...
...Sanger points out that he has not synthesized insulin; he has only charted its structure. The importance of this work is that other chemists may now chart other proteins, find out whether certain groupings of amino acids in their molecules confer certain vital properties. Eventually, for instance, they may find that a small knot of amino acids makes a protein drug, like insulin, act as it does in the human body. Then perhaps a superior insulin substitute can be synthesized...
