Many of you will be familiar with Erno Rubik s ingenious cubical puzzle and its variations that include a 4 X 4 X 4 cube and puzzles shaped like tetrahedra. One natural variation that never appeared on toy store shelves is the 4-D version of Rubik s cube—Rubik s tesseract. Dan Velleman (Amherst College)... 

The wines of Palestine, Syria, and Asia Minor vary much in alcoholio strength. Those analyzed by Prcu-fessor HrrCHCCtOK of Amherst College, United States of America, contained from ten to eighteen per cent, of alcohol, or nearly as much as the European.wines, except those of Oporto, Madeira, and Sicily, or the low wines of Spain that are brand led. 

The type of calorimeter and the method of calculating the heats of adsorption from the experimental data were essentially the same as described in previous papers (I, 4, 10). Two calorimeters of the same design were used, one employing a filler made of copper as described by Dry and Beebe (4) and the other a filler of aluminum. (A drawing and brief description of this calorimeter will be supplied on request addressed to the authors at Amherst College.) In one run for nitrogen adsorption on the bare surface we employed a liquid nitrogen trap to prevent contamination of the sample in the calorimeter by condensed mercury. Data from all runs on the various calorimeters and samples checked within the accuracy of the experiments.

Almost a mirror image of its neighbor Northampton to the southwest, Amherst is the home of two selective liberal arts colleges (U Mass and Amherst College), an abundance of new and used bookstores, classic architecture, liberal politics and cheap eats. It is noted in history books as the home of the poet Emily Dickinson, who lived a reclusive life here in the brick house built by her grandfather. Her home may be visited at 280 Main Street. 

William G. Lycan received his B.A. from Amherst College, where he was briefly a chemistry major before switching to mathematics. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in phi-... 

This work has its origin in the senior thesis written by JDB for the History Department, Amherst College. A particular debt is owed to Professor John Servos (Amherst College), without whose insightful guidance and remarkable patience this undertaking would not have been possible. Thanks go to the many chemists who responded to inquiries and provided valuable materials to JDB. 

Joan B. Broderick was born in 1965. She received a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Washington State University and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, where she was a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow. She was an American Cancer Society postdoctoral fellow at MIT before joining the faculty at Amherst College as assistant professor in 1993. She moved to Michigan State University in 1998 and to Montana State University in 2005, where she is currently Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Her research interests are in mechanistic bioinorganic chemistry, with a particular focus on enzymes utilizing iron-sulfur clusters to catalyze radical reactions.

The sea urchin work was supported by NSF Grants DCB 9004170 and lBN-9304394, and an Amherst College Faculty Research Award to D.L.P. The authors are grateful to F. McKeon, S. Gruber,. J. Maul. J. Holy, and G. Wessel for the gifts of antibodies, and to J.-C. Courvalin for sharing protocols and stimulating discussions. Thanks to T. Landsverk and I. Andersen for assistance with electron microscopy. 

John William Mallet was born in 1832 in Dublin, Ireland. He studied in Germany under Wohler. In 1853 he went to the USA and became professor of chemistry in Amherst College and later in Charlotteville. He participated in the Civil War on the side of the South. He determined the atomic weight of lithium more exactly and analyzed numerous minerals. He died in 1912 in Charlotteville.
