The pursuit of knowledge still plays second fiddle to the competitive nature of science. No doubt we will someday see. The Double Helix--Part II. Biological research in our society is a big business; it is fiercely competitive. All competitive ventures require rules and the Cambridge City Council voted to insure fair play...
