...Books Inc. Both agree that (as Cohen puts it) religion in the U.S. is apt to be "ineffective," victimized by "internal confusion and disorder," generally "deteriorating," and that (in Clancy's words) religion is apt to be a matter of good fellowship and good works, with the American "consensus" on moral and philosophic principles growing ever narrovver...

The exhibit (cost: about $75,000) was already in demand for future showings. Its complex biochemistry, representing the consensus of several leading cytologists, was too deep for most visiting physicians and probably understood only by other cytologists.
