...Cooper, 21. Daughter of a top executive in the Erwin Wasey, Ruthrauff & Ryan advertising agency, Marcia will be married in a singlesteeple, knotty-pine chapel built especially for her wedding on her family's Woodstock, Ill., estate. Seating only 17 people, the chapel, which is a remodeled pump shed, has a built-in hi-fi system for organ music and a huge picture window opposite the altar so that guests sitting on the lawn will see the ceremony...

The "almost impossible" feat promises to shed new light on the transmission of hereditary traits in mammals and on the origin of genetic abnormalities. After experiments with the sperm of fish and fowl, rabbits and bulls, the Manhattan researchers carefully washed the human sperm to rid it of enzymes, then treated the DNA tough protein topcoat with a chemical that freed the 400,000 chainlike DNA molecules for examination...

He first shed the name Constantine, which he detested, and became Bobby, because he was always "bobbitting about." In 1917 he was thrown out of Rugby on circumstantial evidence of thievery. Though innocent, Ionides was scarcely helped by the fact that he was a known poacher of pheasants and that his desk drawer contained two loaded revolvers. Though his family was proper Edwardian and had been in England for generations, he was also tagged as "the Greek" and as "Ironhides" for his stoic...
