...perilous strike is averted-but concern continues to grow Worrisome military movements in the Soviet Union's western districts. Reports of Soviet transport planes landing in southwestern Poland with helicopters and other heavy gear. An unexpected extension of the two-week-old Warsaw Pact maneuvers in and around Poland. Stepped-up attacks against Polish "counterrevolutionaries" in Izvestiya, Soviet government newspaper. A sudden flight to Prague by Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev to meet with Warsaw Pact leaders. It seemed all too reminiscent of the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, an operation that had followed on the heels of Warsaw Pact...

Three years later he put together Colonial Air Transport with help from friends, including Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney and William H. Vanderbilt.

Symbolism aside, it helps the Soviets support...
Like Berg, Cohen wanted to insert new genes artificially into bacteria. But where Berg resorted to a virus as his transport system, Cohen opted for plasmids, which he had been studying in his lab. As he listened to Boyer's description of his work that night in Waikiki, however, Cohen realized that there might be a short cut. Boyer and his associates had found a so-called restriction enzyme that cuts DNA precisely at predetermined points, and performs this surgery in an especially helpful way: at each end of the severed, twin-stranded molecule, it leaves an extra...
