Oral history interview with Charles N. Cole and Inder Verma 1995 May 6 and August 23

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/76937860

Charles N. Cole begins his interview by discussing the reasons behind his decision to attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT]. Cole's interest in viruses led him to switch from Harvey F. Lodish's Laboratory to the laboratory of David Baltimore. Cole's research involved the polio virus and the role of defective interfering particles. While at Baltimore's lab, reverse transcriptase was discovered. Cole discusses the effect that this discovery had on his polio research. After completing his Ph.D., Cole decided not to pursue polio research. Cole's time at MIT coincided with rising political activism. Cole discusses his anti-war activities, his arrest for disorderly conduct, the resulting trials, and his decision to live communally. Cole concludes the interview with some thoughts about working with David Baltimore and his skill as a writer and lecturer.
