...Merck virologists tried other kinds of nucleic acid: single-stranded RNA, doublestranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and substances containing proteins. None worked. Then they took two groups of nucleic acid components. Alone, neither of these had worked, but when they were combined in what turned out to be a multi-stranded RNA, the protective effect for infected mice was about the same as that conferred...

He can also duplicate his notes over as many as four octaves, add reverberation...

Each kamagraph looks as though the artist had painted it by hand. The French call this type of work a "multi-original," because the machine can work only with a painting painted for it on a specially treated canvas plaque. Lichine & Co. have so far recruited Ernst, Rene Magritte and Edouard Pignon for their stable of pilot kamagraphers, plan to put their output on sale in the U.S. in the autumn...
