...nuclear energy, but did not mention the 1954 hearings, after which the AEC's five commissioners voted 4-1 to declare the physicist a security risk because of "fundamental defects in his character . . . close association with Communists . . . falsehoods, evasions and misrepresentations." After all the years of this stain on his record, many of his scientist associates have been urging the Government to acknowledge Oppenheimer's earlier impressive contributions, and the Fermi Award was its answer. Said Oppenheimer: "Most of us look to the good opinion of our colleagues and to the good will and the conscience...
...Mama (Ruth Gordon) is a compulsive shopper with delusions of solvency. Masochistic Papa (Walter Matthau) is a corner-cutting shoe manufacturer who is going bankrupt in a paroxysm of anguish and gallows humor. Son Bernie (Anthony Holland) is a leaky, self-expressing drip, the kind that leaves a brown stain in a washbowl. At play's end, simple-witted Bernie is out in the once pristine West shilling with a tom-tom for some once noble Indians who are now corrupt enough to con the tourists with their fabricated trinkets. This scene contains the essence of the Hellman vision...
...named Eugen Lucius, perfected the first instant dye, which won wide popularity after a French silk dyer used it to dye green the silk to be used in an evening dress for Emperor Napoleon Ill's wife, Empress Eugenie. Soon researchers, using Hoechst dyes, learned that they could stain living and dead tissue to study the origin and spread of diseases. Famed Microbiologist Robert Koch used Hoechst dyes to discover the organisms causing anthrax and tuberculosis. Over the years, Hoechst scientists developed Novocain, the first effective local anesthetic, produced Adrenalin, the first synthetic hormone, and opened...
Dyes & Light. The institute's members have made their own great contributions to pathology. In 1864 it was one of the old museum's first pathologists, Dr. Joseph Janvier Woodward, who developed the use of newly discovered aniline dyes to stain tissues so that different components became more distinguishable. That same year Dr. Woodward took the first microscope photographs, using the sun as his light source. Major Walter Reed was the pathology museum's curator when he went to Havana as head of the team that convicted mosquitoes of carrying yellow fever, making possible control...
What Griffin did was really quite simple. He persuaded a dermatologist in New Orleans to treat him with a medicine used to cure vitiligo: a skin disease which causes white blotches to appear on a Negro's face and body. Where the medicine worked imperfectly, Griffin applied black stain; then he shaved his hair, and within a few days was transformed into a Negro...
