...deoxyribo-nucleic-acid molecule model built at Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute. The grey balls represent carbon atoms; blue is phosphorous; yellow is nitrogen; red is oxygen; white is hydrogen. Molecules do not look like this, of course. The atoms in them are much too small to be seen, even with an electron microscope. The pattern shown is a small part, somewhat simplified, of the DNA molecule, which geneticists now believe is the carrier of heredity and the chemical master of all life. If all of this seems to bring up some questions about the unfolding mysteries of heredity...
...miles. Scores of homemade 49-star flags broke out across Alaska.* In Skagway, women paraded wearing embroidered badges: "Bigger than Texas, Better than California-God's Country." On the western shores, in Nome and Kotzebue, the populace torched big, bright bonfires that they hoped could be seen across the strait in Siberia. Even the antistatehood Alaskans, mostly in Sitka and the capital city of Juneau, joined in the bell ringing and dancing...
...grand old men are still alive, and some who gave it form are still only middleaged. Outstanding among them: Professor George Wells Beadle of Caltech, who did most to put modern genetics on its chemical basis. Geneticist Beadle is a mere 54. In his working lifetime he has seen genetics grow from a small, rather baffled specialty into a central, exciting science that is drawing the rapt attention of chemists, physicists, mathematicians, even astronomers, as well as nearly every type of biologist...
...used to depict Eleazar's slaying of the beast of King Antiochus (/ Maccabees 6:17-46), a feat of self-sacrifice interpreted as prefiguring Christ's martyrdom. But many of Vicino Orsini's fantasies remain obscure. He set out to create a garden unlike any ever seen-and he succeeded...
Although the play is often presented, rarely is a production seen with the obvious craftsmanship and creativity of the present one. Director Basil Langton has fully realized the author's attempt to give flesh to a social abstraction and on the other hand to give eloquence and stature to flesh that is at times all too solid. The author seems to ask, when and how can the sons of the men who carved a country out of the frontier with the strength of their hands adjust to the business suit and all the other impersonal appurtenances of a white collar...
