Barton's theories have enabled chemists to determine the structure of many complicated organic molecules and to produce such molecules artificially. His early research paved the way for the synthesis of the medicine cortisone.
Their report appearing in the October 10 issue of Science, says that the new process using a Model PDP-1 computer will bring about "a much deeper understanding of the foundations of chemical synthesis."
Long range applications of their discovery could also revolutionize teaching methods, so that a chemistry student could easily draw a graph of a chemical structure and watch a computer theorize the synthesis of the molecule.
"Any chemist can use this program with only one minute of practice," Dr. Corey said last week. The chemist "draws" the structure he is interested in as he would with paper and pencil; a computer-driven plotting device then draws the shape on a cathode-ray display tube and develops...
THIS METHOD of historical parallels of moral conduct belongs more to sermons than to films, but Intolerance is nowhere narrowly moralistic or illustrative, nowhere organized as a set of examples to prove a point. Indeed, its episodes are so independent that the integrity of its theme is seriously stretched . From...
