When sophomore Captain Deborah Kaufman and freshman Erika Smith walked off the court following their 6-3, 6-2 trouncing of Princeton's number two pair of Jean Weinberg and Susan Whitney, the Crimson camp roared in applause of the culmination of Harvard's most successful season to date...
Earlier, the Crimson had set the stage for the upset by winning four out of a possible six singles contests. As with her doubles match. Smith was the first one to leave the court registering a 6-1, 6-2, drubbing of Weinberg...
Theoretical Physicists Steven Weinberg, then-Higgens Professor of Physics, and Pakistani physicist Adbus Salam predicted the location and weight of the W and Z particles as early as 1967. Weinberg, Salam, and current Higgins Professor of Physics Scheldon L. Glashow shared the Nobel Prize in 1979 for their work on the unification theories. "If Rubbia had not confirmed the existence of the W particle, theoretical physicists would have been running around emitting sharp cries," Weinberg, who now teaches at the University of Texas, said yesterday...
...knows, they haven't been conserved through evolution just to make tumors," says Varmus. These genes may play a role during fetal development and then become quiescent, unless activated or altered by carcinogens or cancer viruses. They start out as "normal, good genes," explains Molecular Biologist Robert Weinberg of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "but they become damaged during an individual's lifetime. When damaged, they assume a new role: directing the cell to grow abnormally...
...Weinberg has shown that only a minuscule amount of damage is needed to turn one of these normal genes into an agent of cancer. A gene from a normal human bladder cell contains about 6,000 chemical constituents or bases. The difference between this gene and one that produces bladder cancer involves only one of those 6,000 bases. Says Weinberg: "That very subtle change led to the creation of a tumor...
