Until two weekends ago, the Eli booters had not scored in Ivy competition, let alone won any games. But then they shut out Cornell, 2-0, as did Harvard, and then tied with Princeton, 1-1. Yale, though not as skilled as the Crimson, relied on speed and aggressiveness to neutralize Princeton, which beat Harvard, 2-0. (Yale's starting goalie was injured in the Princeton game so the Elis will probably start a freshman in the nets today...
MacLeod's brand of football is just as opportunistic as his sales pitch. He lacks great size or speed but he has a knack of finding the seam in zone defenses that he attributes to the perspective he gained while playing quarterback. His ability to catch the ball under pressure would undoubtedly earn him the nickname "the wee ice mon" if he played on the Isle of Skye eleven...
Critics point to one of the research groups working to induce bacteria to manufacture insulin which already has a contract with a large pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly & Co. The speed at which the work has advanced--and possible shortcuts scientists may have taken--have raised doubts...
Work marches to the speed of a different drummer for Helga Doty, a senior research associate in Biochemistry, and her coworkers, who have also begun working in the P-3 laboratory at the Biolabs. Doty's group is tackling the vast problem of how genes are turned on and off--using gene splicing as a research tool rather than an end in itself. She has been studying RNA--one of the intermediate steps the cell employs in translating the DNA code--for 22 years. Whereas Gilbert has a definite medical goal pushing him on, Doty must stab in the dark...
...just a fantastic and powerful tool," Doty says. This method of including E. coli to clone many copies of the DNA template is cheap, efficient, and, above all, it produces pure mixtures of the DNA. Despite gene splicing abilities, which may speed up the work by years, Doty says without any hint of discouragement, "disecting out what any of this means is going to take a tremendous amount of time...
