...House of Nobles he spoke brilliantly in favor of trade, liquor-control laws, and the decimal system. He was a physicist who anticipated Kant and Laplace in the nebular hypothesis, and a paleontologist far ahead of his time. His contributions to science included a modern theory of molecular magnetics, a system of crystallography, a mercury air pump, and a method of determining longitude at sea from the moon...
...Nobel Prize in chemistry went to Hermann Staudinger, 72, of Freiburg, West Germany, who is considered the father of the study of macro-molecules. When he started his work, many organic compounds were known to contain large groups of atoms, but these were considered mere mechanical clumpings of smaller molecular groups. Dr. Staudinger showed that they are true molecules, their thousands of atoms hooked together in definite patterns...
...means of delivering his African subjects from "this terrible plague." Working not for the prize but for humanity, investigators at Manhattan's Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research began an intensive search for a cure. Drs. Walter A. Jacobs and Michael Heidelberger juggled chemical groups into new molecular combinations. In 1915, they found tryparsamide. Physicians Wade H. Brown and Louise Pearce concluded from tests on animals that this was just what they needed...
While his lectures are memorable for their humor alone, it is Nash's interest in students that has made Chemistry 2 and Natural Science 4 so popular during the past five years. Remembering his own undergraduate tussles with gram-atoms and molecular weights, he turns his sympathy for student confusion into an active program of help. Although he has an audience of several hundred, Nash frequently stops lectures to answer questions from the floor. Often he climbs on a chair in the front row to ask what is troubling a boy looking puzzled in the back of the lecture room...
While it is the second title on the marquee, Go West, Young Girl is better than its molecular co-feature. This re-release stars Glenn Ford as a bumbling sheriff and Penny Singleton as a squeaky-voiced heroine. With sentimental ballads like, "Take Your Time, Little Dogie" and a female back-room brawl, Go West, Young Girl is a surprisingly enjoyable parody of Western movies...
