KENNET H FOWLER FTER A DISTINGUISHED CAREER OF SERVICe in academia, govern- Ament, and industry, Guy Stever died on April 9, 2010, at his home in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He was 9. During 1965-1976, he served as president of Carnegie Tech, then Carnegie-Mellon University; director of the National Science Foundation; and science adviser to Presidents Nixon and Ford. He was a member of Section 1 of the National Academy of Sciences, elected in 197, having already been elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1965. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1991. I knew Guy best when I served with him on the Fusion Policy Advisory Committee of 1990, which played an important role in enabling Princeton finally to conduct experiments with tritium that yielded the first definitive demonstration of controlled fusion power, in 199. Guy was chair, a frequent role for him after his years in the White House. Just the year before, in 1989, he had completed a far more difficult assignment as chair of a panel overseeing booster-rocket redesign following the Challenger disaster.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Arthur Kornberg, M.D., dated June 18, 1997. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

    Hugh L. Dryden's Career in Aviation and Space

    MONOGRAPHS IN AREROSPACE HISTORY #5 Hugh Dryden's Career Hugh L. Dryden's Career in Aviation and Space by Michael H. Gorn NASA History Office Code ZH NASA Headquarters Washington, DC 20546 Monographs in Aerospace History Number 5 1996 Hugh Dryden's Career Foreword This account of the life of Dr. Hugh Latimer Dryden is especially appropriate now. The NASA Hugh L. Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) was named in his honor exactly 20 years ago. This year we also celebrate 50 years of flight research here. It is fitting that people associated with the Center, with NASA as a whole, and those outside of NASA who are interested in the history of aviation and space, be reminded of Hugh Dryden’s enormous contributions. Hugh Dryden was a research scientist of the highest order, an aeronautics pioneer, the Director of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), and then the first NASA Deputy Administra- tor. Dr. Hugh Dryden’s special relationship to the Dryden Flight Research Center goes far beyond its name. Among Hugh Dryden’s first actions after becoming the NACA’s Director of Research in September 1947, was to inform Walt Williams, the director of the flight research operation here in the desert, that the NACA Muroc organization, formed the previous year, would now become a permanent facility known as the NACA Muroc Flight Test Unit. Hugh Dryden strongly supported the flight research conducted here with the early rocket-powered aircraft. He represented the NACA on the interagency Research Airplane Committee that supervised the beginnings of the critically important X-15 research at the High Speed Flight Station.

    Dr. Florence P. Haseltine, Ph.D., M.D. Activities of the Foundation While Bringing Recognition to a Worthy Woman in Medicine

    The Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine The 14th Annual The Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine, established in 1998, was founded on the belief that knowing the historical past is a powerful force in shaping Alma Dea Morani, M.D. the future. Though relatively young, The Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine has made significant accomplishments in promoting the history of Renaissance Woman Award women in medicine. The Alma Dea Morani Award continues to provide an annual centerpiece to the Dr. Florence P. Haseltine, Ph.D., M.D. activities of The Foundation while bringing recognition to a worthy woman in medicine. This year we honor Florence P. Haseltine, Ph.D., M.D., Emerita Director, Center for Population Research at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Public Health (NICHD) of the National Institutes of Health. The Foundation’s Research Fellowships, offered in conjunction with the The Archives for Women in Medicine (AWM) at Countway Library’s Center for the History of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, continue to be competitive. The 2013 recipient, Dr. Ciara Breathnach, lectures in history and has published on Irish socio-economic and health histories in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her research focuses on how the poor experienced, engaged with and negotiated medical services in Ireland and in North America from 1860-1912. Dr. Breathnach’s focused study of record of the migratory waves against trends in medical and social modernity processes, are held at the Archives for Women in Medicine at the Countway Library and will be weighed against other socio-economic evidence to establish how problematic groups such as the Irish poor affected and shaped medical care in Boston.

    GENE SILENCING BY DOUBLE STRANDED RNA Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2006 by Andrew Z. Fire Departments of Pathology and Genetics, Stanford University School of Medicine, 300 Pasteur Drive, Room L235, Stanford, CA 94305-5324, USA. I would like to thank the Nobel Assembly of the Karolinska Institutet for the opportunity to describe some recent work on RNA-triggered gene silencing. First a few disclaimers, however. Telling the full story of gene silencing would be a mammoth enterprise that would take me many years to write and would take you well into the night to read. So we’ll need to abbreviate the story more than a little. Second (and as you will see) we are only in the dawn of our knowledge; so consider the following to be primer... the best we could do as of December 8th, 2006. And third, please understand that the story that I am telling represents the work of several generations of biologists, chemists, and many shades in between. I’m pleased and proud that work from my labo- ratory has contributed to the field, and that this has led to my being chosen as one of the messengers to relay the story in this forum. At the same time, I hope that there will be no confusion of equating our modest contributions with those of the much grander RNAi enterprise. DOUBLE STRANDED RNA AS A BIOLOGICAL ALARM SIGNAL These disclaimers in hand, the story can now start with a biography of the first main character. Double stranded RNA is probably as old (or almost as old) as life on earth.
