...most of the elements of a cell's heredity. When reproductive cells mate and divide, the nonchromosomal genes are portioned out by rules that seem to differ from the Mendelian laws governing the chromosome genes. Until now it has been assumed that the female descendants of a mating transmit all the nonchromosomal genes, but Dr. Sager thinks that male descendants occasionally transmit a few. Further experiments may link nonchromosomal genes with the inherited characteristics of many species...
Friendly Farmers. Mutually frustrated in the face of such plenty, dove hunters display unusual sympathy for one another. Unlike surly, secretive deer hunters, who are all too prone to argue over whose shot felled which animal first, dovemen retrieve one another's downed birds, happily transmit information about good hunting grounds, and try not to sprinkle the neighboring encampment with No. 6 bird shot. They get on famously with farmers in the richly irrigated valley, who find the grain-eating doves a nuisance (the dove population consumes 300 tons of seed a day). What's more, each hunter...
...present radio waves are sent over long distances by bouncing them off ionized layers of gas in the earth's atmosphere. Unfortunately, signals from the ionosphere can be jammed, and events such as a large solar flare can cause a radio fadeout by impairing the ionosphere's ability to transmit signals. From a military standpoint, a radio fadeout or jamming could be disastrous in certain situations. Therefore the Air Force supported Morrow's plan, to create a fully reliable global communication system...
...from one of his frequent trips to Brussels, Giuseppe Enrico Gilberto Martelli was grabbed at the airport by Scotland Yard's Special Branch and formally accused of violating Britain's Official Secrets Act. The wording of the charge suggested that he was accused only of preparing to transmit secret information to "an enemy." Britons wondered if they were in for yet another installment in the series of espionage scandals that have been making headlines for nearly 20 years...
...better way to transmit information is that of writing and duplication. Why can't a lecturer compose moderately extensive notes, have these duplicated, and give a copy to each student? Class meetings could then he used for other things. Such a procedure would transmit information much more effectively than the present paper-mouth-ear-pen-paper route. Furthermore. It would allow the lecturer to tranmit as much information as he desires, not being restricted, as now, to the amount he can orally present in two or three hours per week over the period of a semester...
