...structure was as important to studies of the secrets of life as was the splitting of the atom to physics. The thousands of rungs connecting the helices are made up of nucleotides put together in a definite order. This order is a code that determines whether a particular germ cell will develop into a mouse or a man. The chromosomes that dictate heredity are, essentially, chains of DNA. When one of these vital molecules in an animal cell is altered by radiation, chemicals, or in any other way, the result may be the aberrant growth that is called cancer-which...
...researchers went on to suggest that the specific arrangement of bases along the molecule constituted a code by which genetic information could be transmitted in cell division. This was the first major breakthrough in cellular biology--the first sound attempt to explain such important aspects of life as heredity in purely molecular terms...
...have an opportunity to hear the Nobel-winning scientist lecture in person on DNA, for Watson is a regular member of the teaching staff of that course. In addition to his pedagogical activities, Watson is still deeply involved in research, primarily on the mechanisms of protein synthesis in the cell...
...meantime, an interchange between Mulberry and Mr. Smith has proved that the stalwart businessman Harvey Smith is, in fact, the ex-convict Hank Smith, and that Mulberry Foxhall shared Hank's cell under the name of Pete Malloy. To insure that the marriage will go on, and to gain partnership in Smith's business, Mulberry threatens blackmail. By this time, it would seem that truth and justice and virtue are hopelessly ensnared in the awful net of urban business, but Osgood arrives on the scene just in time to overpower Mulberry, discover on his person the stolen jewels of Smith...
...film begins the story of Barabbas where the Bible lets it end. Flung from his cell by soldiers, the brutish criminal (Anthony Quinn) reels against the whipping post where Christ has just been scourged; when he rises to his feet his hands are covered with Christ's blood. Flung into the sunlight, he stands blinking at a young man in white robes; is it merely the unaccustomed light that dazzles his eyes, or does he really see a radiance streaming from the young man's face? As he stares, strangely moved, he stumbles against a big wooden cross...
