...work on insulin, no one had ever been able to determine the structure of even the simplest of them. Chemists have known for many years that protein molecules are made of amino acids (nitrogen-containing organic acids) strung together in long chains or cables. By various kinds of rough treatment, the chemists could separate and count the amino acid building blocks. But this did not reveal their structural plan...
There was a third and worse possibility: meningococci, which could kill Mary within an hour or two. Dr. Burkhardt dared not delay either treatment or hospitalization. He ordered one of the clinic's two radio-equipped sedans rigged with an infusion bottle hung from the coat hook and bundled Mary into the car. A Navajo staff member drove the 90 miles (much of it over spring-breaking dirt roads) to Fort Defiance, while Burkhardt squatted by the patient, gave her a continuous intravenous infusion of sulfadiazine...
...raised in Italy, where her mother had been sent for her health. The sunny freedom of a girlhood on the Ligurian coast prepared her for anything but the spiny conventionalities of the traditional education (concluding at Oxford) that followed, giving rise to Rose Macaulay's frequent literary treatment of the struggles of the free spirit against rigid mores. The witty, bloodless, polished writer that emerged was-in words she used to describe a character in Staying With Relations-"ironic, amused, passionless, detached, elegantly celibate . . . a traveled European, a bland mocker, a rather mincing young gentlewoman...
...those who though they were well rid of Strauss when he resigned as AEC head in June, his latest promotion comes as an unpleasant shock. There is no reason to honor the man whose treatment of Oppenheimer was not exactly gallant, and who has clouded the facts about atmospheric pollution and nuclear test explosions. In giving him this new position, President Eisenhower has done the country a considerable disservice, one which only the Senate can remedy...
Less purely fundamental work has found itself subjected to similar ill-treatment. The composer deBreville wrote of his colleague Chausson: "He had no reason to fear or avoid vulgarity for he knew not what it was." And then the legions of Hollywood score composers came along and bled Franck, Chausson and company for all they were worth. It takes a pure mind not to find traces of "movie-music" in Chausson. But Chausson is not responsible for what happened; nor are the worshippers of the African jungles or of Oceania responsible for what became of their religious expression...
