...balloon trip. The only part of the venture that got off the ground was Webb's title song. It was recorded by The 5th Dimension, and it soared high in the charts, sold 875,000 copies and won some more Grammies. Trans World Airlines bought the rights to use it in its TV and radio commercials...
...Wilson, then 36, found it faltering. Searching for profitable new business, he seized on a little-known copying process called "xerography," and in eight years raised some $87.6 million in loans and stock issues to finance research. Once the process-which is unique in that it permits use of ordinary paper-was perfected, Wilson made a second daring decision. Rather than sell his machines outright, he determined to lease them for a flat rental, charge a small fee per copy. Thus the early Xerox 914s, which cost some $2,000 to make, could earn more than...
...though the stock certificates that bankers ordinarily demand as collateral are held by the C.C.S. Instead of the stock itself, the banks would accept C.C.S.-issued "warehouse certificates." Until some such arrangement is worked out, however, the brokerage firms will simply have to withdraw some of their certificates to use as collateral...
...information. That is, red blood cells, which produce hemoglobin, have the same information as muscle cells, although obviously have widely different functions. Cell specialization thus may depend on the process by which the cell chooses which genetic information to copy into RNA and, perhaps more importantly, to transport and use in the cytoplasm...
CESIUM CHLORIDE, a salt somewhat similar to table salt, is commonly used in density studies, but animal ribosomes were found to be unstable in this solution. The Russians circumvented this difficulty by "fixing" the ribosomes by tanning them with formaldehyde. Yet, according to Kafatos, this did not end the problem because tanning may alter the particles chemically so that the results may not be definitive. After a years's work, Kafatos, in collaboration with a colleague, Ned Feder, now at the National Institute of Health, synthesized a different salt to use in the centrifuge in which ribosomes would be stable...
