...filtered over from the Centre de Genetique Moleculaire laboratory near Paris that scientists there were encountering the same anomaly. As the two groups report in a recent issue of the British journal Na- ture, additional experiments showed that whenever the Paramecium's cellular machinery read either of two "periods" (TAG and TAA) in the standard code, it linked the amino acid glutamine onto the protein chain rather than stopping production; it obeyed only the third word for stop, TGA. At Nagoya University in Japan, scientists have found that Mycoplasma also ignores a stop triplet. But in this case...

Whereas the Russians bring to Washington an entire retinue of maintenance workers and cleaning people, the U.S. employs 211 Soviet citizens in similar capacities at its embassy.
