...Defective human genes, lab-mixed with healthy genetic material, may some day be artificially inseminated to produce normal individuals, said Johns Hopkins Biologist Bentley Glass in a Michigan State University lecture. Children's sex may one day be pre-ordered by a lab device that electrically separates the two types of sperm. "The great advances already made," said Glass, "suggest other fascinating possibilities of producing and modifying human genetic material...
...Hypothesized New York State University Agricultural & Technical Institute Biologist Louis Pyenson: "When it rains, the drops falling on the earth set up a vibration, and the worms come out. So it must be with hoop twirling. When the twirler shifts weight to keep the hoop spinning, there are vibrations, and the worms rise from the earth...

...chemical basis. Geneticist Beadle is a mere 54. In his working lifetime he has seen genetics grow from a small, rather baffled specialty into a central, exciting science that is drawing the rapt attention of chemists, physicists, mathematicians, even astronomers, as well as nearly every type of biologist...
Skilled Cell. The idea was not original with Beadle. Every biologist marvels at the chemical virtuosity of living cells. Under the eye of the microscope they seem placid things. The slimy protoplasm inside them sometimes streams slowly, but little other action is visible. This quietude is an illusion. The typical cell, which may be only one twenty-five-thousandth of an inch long, is aboil with chemical action. It is building thousands of complex compounds and tearing other thousands to bits. It selects nutrients that it wants, and in some mysterious way absorbs them selectively through its outer wall. Tiny...
