But time has not been kind: as Randolph Street degenerated, the theater turned into a rundown movie house. Finally this year its owners, a subsidiary of the Balaban and Katz theater chain, decided to tear it down and put up a garage...
...from one tissue-culture pot to another. One grew it in cultures of cells from human kidneys. Another kept it going through 28 transplantations in cells of human amnion ("bag of waters"). A third got it to flourish in the amnion of fertilized hens' eggs. Dr. Samuel L.
