Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein found in the blood of nearly all vertebrates and many invertebrates. It transports oxygen from the lungs or gills of an animal to the tissues. Four polypeptide chains, each wrapped in a specific way around its own heme group, make up the hemoglobin molecule.
Correction Appended. Alger Hiss, the erudite diplomat and Harvard-trained government lawyer who was convicted of perjury in an espionage case that became one of the great riddles of the Cold War, died yesterday at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. He was 92 and lived in Manhattan.
Good Documentary about 'The Case of the Century'. This movie is a paean of praise to Alger Hiss â a distinguished lawyer, diplomat, and foundation head, a symbol of the New Deal and American Establishment. In 1950 Hiss was convicted of perjury for denying that he had spied for the Soviet Union in 1937 and 1938.
