...Faculty of Arts and Sciences unanimously approved the creation of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at its meeting yesterday...
...collective name used for convenience for at least three of the female sex hormones, now applied also to synthetic chemicals of similar molecular structure. *Made by Norman B. Ryder, director of the University of Wisconsin's Center for Demography and Ecology, and Charles F. Westoff, associate director of Princeton University's Office of Population Research, and reported to the Notre Dame Conference on Population last December. †A play on the safety poster: "Ninety percent of accidents are caused by people...
Harvard is finally considering the creation of a much-needed Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, but the proposal passed by the Committee on Educational Policy may be too weak to be meaningful...
...chemistry prize went to University of Chicago Chemical Physicist Robert Mulliken, 70, for his molecular orbital theory, first published in 1928. With that theory Mulliken forever destroyed an established scientific concept: that atoms retain their original identity when they form molecules. Instead, he argued, the balance of particles within atoms changes when they become part of molecules; electrons may take up orbital paths around the entire molecule instead of remaining in orbit around atomic nuclei. Virtually all of the significant work in molecular structure that has been done since has been based on Mulliken's theory...
Byrd's machine stubbornly retained the poll tax to discourage voter registration; in 1961, only 17% of Virginia's voting-age population cast ballots in the gubernatorial election. The Organization-once described as "a molecular attraction of 18th century thinkers"-could never adjust to the complex needs of an increasingly urbanized state where Negroes in time became fully enfranchised, and the suburbs of Washington spread an ever-creeping tide of sophistication into the body politic...
