...developing nerve cells to link up with them. It was Levi-Montalcini who first suggested in 1951 that the signal might come from a growth-stimulating chemical in the cells targeted by the nerves. Her hunch was confirmed in 1952 when she observed that single nerve cells, taken from chick embryos and cultured with tissue from mouse tumors, sprouted nerve fibers that reached out "like the rays of the sun." Her conclusion: there was growth factor in the tumor tissue...
...perception is that the Black Sox did not cheat as individuals. They did so, following the basic tenet of their sport, as a team. Money may have been the bait but loyalty and comradeship were the motives that persuaded them, some with great reluctance, to betray their talents. As Chick Gandil (Paul Christie), the sour ringleader of the scam, remarks in an aside, people become willing to do something they consider wrong if they see enough others doing it. Kelly shrewdly narrows his focus to just the wrongdoers, not the colleagues who never joined -- or, in at least some cases...
...gene splicing. Saul Kit, the Baylor University biochemical virologist who redesigned the virus, points out that existing pseudorabies vaccines, which raise no alarms, have also been produced by what is really a form of genetic engineering. One older vaccine, he explains, was developed by growing the pseudorabies virus in chick cells for tens of thousands of generations. In the process, significant genetic changes occurred in small numbers of the virus. "The most important of these," he says, "was the deletion of an entire gene" that weakened the virus and made it suitable for a vaccine. What Kit has done...
...team captained by H. C. Egan '05, and made up of W. E. Egan '05, W. C. Chick '05, M. McBurney '06, A. L. White '06, and F. Ingalls 1L, the victory over Yale on October 20, 1904, at the Myopia Hunt Club, was neither surprising nor exciting--the Crimson had claimed the event five times in the previous six years and only five teams contested the NCAA title that year...
Pretty little middle-class chick comes to the Haight to see what it's all about & gets picked up by a seventeen-year-old street dealer who spends all day shooting her full of speed again & again, then feed her 3000 mikes & raffles off her temporarily unemployed body for the biggest Haight Street gang bang since the night before last...
