The researchers next removed all traces of viruses and chicken cells, leaving only the culture brew. They added this solution to a batch of healthy cells and "challenged" them with a new virus. The cells remained uninfected. It was apparent that the initial virus infection had stimulated the cells to produce something that interfered with further viral assaults; this substance remained behind in the solution when the original cells and viruses were removed...
While the Harvard swimming story needs much more than Bobby Hackett for an accurate rendition, his arrival began public recognition of the Crimson as a bona-fide national contender.

Operating out of one kitchen, Sid, Louise, Jeff and David started Grandma's and began to sell their wares to small shop owners in the area. Within two years they were selling cookies to stores throughout the country. Now the Vermont business employs a staff of five, and has a $200,000 volume of business...
