Perhaps the most promising avenue to ample IF supplies is the recombinant DNA technique being tried by Biogen and other companies. Scientists chemically snip a gene from the DNA of one organism. The gene, which contains the code for producing a certain protein, is then chemically spliced into the DNA of another life form, usually a harmless laboratory strain of the common intestinal bacterium Escherichia coli. Now the genetically reprogrammed bug has the ability to produce something new. It begins cranking out the protein and, given the proper nourishment, making millions of carbon copies of itself, each capable of producing...
...year depreciation schedule allows. Pushed by inflation, plant and equipment costs almost doubled in the past ten years or so. Thus $100 spent in 1968 to buy a machine would replace only half the machine when recovered through depreciation in 1978.

The illustrious and voluminous poet Khushal Khan Khattack expressed this love-hate relationship best in the 17th century...

So far, the only one to receive a reward is Kit Williams. His royalties may reach $500,000 by year's end, and his paintings are ever more eagerly sought: at the most recent show all 21 of Williams' paintings were sold for over $8,000 each; the 16 illustrations for Masquerade went at about $9,000 each. Now at work on a new children...
