...have long peddled everything from magazine subscriptions to their own blood. Now, two students at the Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit are suggesting that prospective doctors sell a more valuable commodity-a piece of their future. Aware that many small towns need doctors, particularly general practitioners, Sol Edelstein, 24, and Douglas Jackson, 26, are offering in effect to indenture themselves to any community that is willing to pay the cost of their medical education...
...dogma to be that genetic information flowed in one direction: from DNA to RNA to protein. To the surprise of many molecular biologists, however, it has recently been shown that part of the process can sometimes be reversed. This finding, in the opinion of molecular biologists like Columbia's Sol Spiegelman, may offer an important clue to the workings of cancer cells (see box, page...
There is other evidence that the beginning of genetic surgery is not far off. Dr. Sol Spiegelman of Columbia University has synthesized an artificial virus that is indistinguishable from its natural model and has used it to infect bacteria and produce new viruses. He and his colleagues have little doubt that they will also eventually create "friendly" viruses and use them to cure disease rather than cause it?by using the viruses to stimulate the production of the chemical products upon which health and life itself depend...
...enzyme associated with Temin's discovery was at first believed to be unique to cancer cells infected by viruses. Thus when Columbia University's Sol Spiegelman and the National Cancer Institute's Robert Gallo found high enzyme activity in the cells of leukemic patients, medical science had a solid clue that leukemia might be caused by a virus. Even more important, some researchers speculated that if the Temin enzyme was found only in cancer cells, the spread of cancer might be halted simply by inhibiting the enzyme...
...Sol Gomez, last year's team captain. has openly expressed his disap-proval of Munro's coaching last fall. In a letter to Watson at the end of the season, Gomez criticized Munro for being unqualified to teach soccer skills, impersonal with players, and not authoritative in his selection of a starting team...
