But how does light start the process? In the British scientific journal Nature, two University of California biochemists, Drs. Kunio Tagawa and Daniel Arnon, report that they have moved closer than ever before to a satisfactory answer...
...laboratories all over the world, other researchers are designing experiments to exploit this new knowledge of photosynthesis. Drs. Arnon and Tagawa have already been able to recognize a striking similarity between photosynthesis in plants and chemical processes that are carried on by certain bacteria that live in the soil, cut off from both sunlight and oxygen. The discovery, says Dr. Arnon, demonstrates "the beautiful biochemical unity of nature...
Nagasaki's citizens seem to be less fearful of "atom sickness" than their fellow survivors in Hiroshima. They are also markedly gayer and more relaxed. The city's longtime mayor, Tsutomu Tagawa, whose home was destroyed by the Bomb, says his people feel "no bitterness" toward the U.S., shrugs: "If Japan had had the same type of weapon, it would have used it."
