He took the patronage out of the procedure for choosing young people for summer jobs, and raised the percentage...
What developed into a front-page item for The New York Times and a sore spot for not-a-few University affiliates began with the discovery of the DNA molecule, considered a fundamental unit of life. The work of genetics experts and molecular biologists in recent years had opened windows through which scientists have envisioned amazing possibilities: cancer fertilizing plants, limitless energy supplies.
