Recently, Dr. Dick visited Moscow. Dr. Antonina K. Shubladze (TiME, Nov. 11), co-discoverer of the controversial vaccine, went over his data. Last week readers of the British Medical Journal were treated to the unusual spectacle of a public, nonpolitical recantation by a Russian scientist. Said a letter from Moscow: "It is clearly necessary to reinvestigate . . . this virus, for recent experiments have shown that [it] is similar to rabies virus. As far as treatment ... is concerned, it is not possible to make any further recommendation until reinvestigations have been made." The letter's co-signers: Dick and Shubladze...
...Caltech needed a new head for its now famous Division of Biology. Professor Morgan had retired. Beadle was tapped for the job and accepted, knowing well that he would have to curtail, perhaps abandon, his personal research. Some of his friends felt that a great scientist was being wasted on a routine administrative job, and there was a precedent for their fears in the history of genetics. Mendel himself did nothing of note after he was made abbot...
...substance that determines heredity and governs all cells (and therefore all life) from the stronghold of the nucleus. DNA has been known to exist for years, but until postwar years little was known about it. Now it is being attacked from many angles by nearly every breed of scientist...
...cell was built with the help of Manhattan Designer Will Burtin, longtime art consultant for Upjohn and amateur scientist. The exhibit (cost: about $75,000) was already in demand for future showings. Its complex biochemistry, representing the consensus of several leading cytologists, was too deep for most visiting physicians and probably understood only by other cytologists. But its ingenuity was vastly admired. One elderly physician stood in awe of the huge cell for a while, then said in a dry Missouri twang: "It'll never work...
...Voyage caused a momentary sensation among premature space bugs, then disappeared from the repertory and has rarely been seen since. The story, as revived by the newly formed Boston Opera Group, concerns one Prince Caprice of the Kingdom of Flambeau, who persuades the nation's top scientist, Dr. Blastoff, to design him a moon rocket with plushy upholstery, an anchor at its stern, gaily-blinking lights and signal flags. This vehicle was trundled off the Boston Public Garden's stage last week and sent moonward with a bang, a yellow flash and an ominous puff of smoke. From...
