Champagnat began his work in 1957 with an investigation of the microorganisms that he found thriving in oil residues at the Lavéra refinery near Marseille. He and his associates gradually learned which strains of bugs prefer which kinds of petroleum, and which produce the most and best protein. When the chemists learned how to grow the bugs in quantity, they filtered them out of the culture, separated them from all traces of petroleum and fed them to laboratory animals.

But Castro, who considers himself as much messiah as Marxist, refused to go quietly-and so did his wispy-mustached little brother Raúl.
