gout. True enough, say Biochemist George Brooks and Social Psychologist Ernst Mueller, but the one-word diagnosis is far from complete. Those four famous men, along with many others, suffered from swollen, painful joints be cause their blood carried an excess of uric acid, which is a product of hu man metabolism. And the presence of that excess acid may explain their other basic similarities -their energetic and adventurous minds, their urge to ex cel and the high caliber of their achievement...
...brain itself might get around this objection. Psychiatrist D. Ewen Cameron, who has tried to improve oldsters' failing memories with injections of RNA from yeast (with still-disputed results), is now testing Cylert at the VA hospital in Albany, N.Y. Says Cylert's co-developer, Biochemist Glasky: "We are going to have trials on thousands of people and should know in about six months whether the drug is effective. But then it might take years to determine whether it is safe for general...

Since returning to Harvard to teach in 1958, he has also earned a reputation as an imaginative innovator...

Dutch-born Biochemist Arie Jan Haagen-Smit of Caltech, a Los Angeles city consultant on air pollution, has been doing his research while riding the Los Angeles-Pasadena freeway. His ancient Plymouth rigged with a portable carbon monoxide detector, he has sampled the tainted atmosphere at all times of day. As far out as Pasadena, the detector shows fairly clean air, but as soon as Haagen-Smit hits the freeway the deadly monoxide begins to climb. Quickly it passes 30 parts per million, which California smog authorities consider serious pollution...
