Which brings us back to Covina, on that day in 1960 when Baker caused panic by covering a neighbor boy with a fake third-degree burn. "I realized it was a pretty sick thing to do," he says. That's when little Rick turned his attention to primates. "Because of King Kong, the gorilla was the perfect Hollywood monster. I really felt it was something that I could do.

Apparently, this is the moment for widespread panic. Wielding their groundbreaking discovery, Craig Venter and Francis Collins also seem to have stumbled upon a few of our species' darkest fears: We stand on the verge of grasping every human being's genetic information.
