...enjoyment of the jolt itself, the aesthetic pleasure of rebellion, is a horrifying thought. For it is unanswerable; there is no return. The Faculty can rap on love and the Corporation can let the poor clip its coupons, all to no avail. Grant what concession you will, unless you turn American society upside-down and free the consciousness from the tyranny of the corporate state--and maybe even after all that--there is no answer to a man who enjoys his act of rebellion, who says isn't-it-wonderful-look-at-the-art-and-music-it's-inspiring...
...those molecules perform their exquisitely delicate and extraordinarily precise functions in all animals, from the amoeba to man. Despite their submicroscopic size, biologically active molecules are huge and complex-in atomic terms. Each one contains hundreds of thousands of atoms, arranged in submolecular groups-"building blocks" that are in turn arranged in definite numbers and patterns. Finding out how the building blocks are assembled in the major molecules has proved to be a challenging and time-consuming task...
...chains of amino acids, of which there are 20 varieties. In 31 years of detailed work, the Edelman team learned by chemical and physical analysis that this particular molecule contains 19,996 atoms (of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur) grouped in 1,320 amino-acid units, which in turn are assembled with the aid of chemical bonds into two "light" chains of 214 amino acids apiece and two "heavy" chains of 446 each (see diagram). Schematically, the four chains, in which the acids are strung like beads, look like a letter T. The middle part of the T varies...
...smoking, though directed from Washington, has become a nationwide popular social cause. It has been joined by growing numbers of teachers, businessmen, movie and TV stars and sports heroes. A few television stations have voluntarily dropped cigarette advertising, and some ad agencies-including Ogilvy & Mather and Doyle Dane Bernbach-turn down cigarette business. Among the athletes, Skater Peggy Fleming, Quarterback Bart Starr and Outfielder Carl Yastrzemski star in American Cancer Society ads proclaiming "I don't smoke cigarettes." Doris Day and Lawrence Welk refuse to appear on TV programs sponsored by cigarette companies. Tony Curtis recently became head...
