Hoping to transmit the gene to the human cells, the scientists placed a solution of the gene-bearing viruses in a lab flask containing the cells. Then they incubated the culture at body temperatures in an atmosphere enriched with carbon dioxide. The next step was more subtle: to determine whether the viruses had actually invaded the cells and insinuated their genetic instructions into them. If the genetic transfer had really taken place, the researchers reasoned, the cells would begin issuing their own instructions for making the enzyme...
Public health officials have concentrated their efforts on immunizing schoolchildren, who often transmit the rubella virus to pregnant women. Now the U.S. Public Health Service's Center for Disease Control in Atlanta is urging local authorities to turn their attention to the women themselves...
...this insanely, inanely plotted movie and lends each scene a Rabelaisian gusto and surprise. His movements are reminiscent of the hippopotamus in rutting season; his expressions are unique. Who else could register such dismay when he finds that he has been making love to a corpse? Who else could transmit such concern for the girl who replaces her lover with a personal vibrator? Who else would want to? Garfield's reputation is secure; he is the first blue-movie comedian-a pantie hero funny enough to melt a statute...
Hegge relates that Jarring relented on two points. He received the writer informally for 20 minutes at the embassy and agreed to send a letter from Solzhenitsyn to the Swedish Academy via diplomatic pouch. But Solzhenitsyn emerged, says Hegge, with the decided impression that Jarring would be unwilling to transmit his planned Nobel Prize lecture in the same manner. Solzhenitsyn had intended to spend five months writing the lecture for publication in Stockholm. Since the Soviets regularly confiscate his mail, the pouch was the only means of transmitting it. Hegge is convinced that the Swedish embassy's rebuff...
...Klass describes, for example, the nation's latest SAMOS (satellite and missile observation system), "the Big Bird," launched just two months ago. A giant, twelve-ton spacecraft capable of working aloft for at least several months, the Big Bird combines the capabilities of several earlier satellites. It can transmit high-quality pictures by radio, and eject capsules of exposed film which then drop by parachute. The Big Bird also includes infra-red heat-sensing equipment that allows it to "see" through Siberian ice and snow to locate Soviet underground weapons. The heaviest concentration of long-range Russian missiles, Klass...
