Oliver St John Gogarty, MD (1878-1957): quintessential Irish Literary Renaissance figure.

Oliver St John Gogarty (1878-1957) was a quintessential figure of the Irish literary renaissance. He was a successful surgeon, accomplished lyric poet, a man of letters, a senator in the first Irish Free State and a celebrated wit. While pursuing a successful career in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery, Gogarty served a brief, nearly lethal term in politics. He devoted the last several years of his life to a remarkably versatile literary career, the spectrum of his creativity including elegant lyric poetry, autobiographies, biographies, essays, novels and parodies.

Suicide: a Socratic revenge.

2400 years have passed since the occurrence in Athens, Greece of one of the famous suicides recorded in human history. This autobiographical essay provides a montage on the history of suicide, with snippets from the final hours of Socrates, as described by Plato. Suicide in contemporary Japanese culture is also explored briefly, with reference to the deaths of internationally acclaimed movie directors Akira Kurosawa and Juzo Itami. The author also questions why no researcher has yet been honoured for the past 99 years with a Medicine Nobel prize for his or her work on suicidology or thanatology.

Historical review: Deciphering the genetic code--a personal account.

This is an autobiographical description of the events that led to the breaking of the genetic code and the subsequent race to decipher the code. The code was deciphered in two stages over a five-year period between 1961 and 1966. During the first stage, the base compositions of codons were deciphered by the directing cell-free protein synthesis with randomly ordered RNA preparations. During the second phase, the nucleotide sequences of RNA codons were deciphered by determining the species of aminoacyl-tRNA that bound to ribosomes in response to trinucleotides of known sequence. Views on general topics such as how to pick a research problem and competition versus collaboration also are discussed.
