Michigan-born Hershey, who began exchanging information with Delbruck and Luria in 1942, found more conclusive evidence for the genetic recombination that Delbrück had discovered. In 1952, Hershey proved that the virus, which consists simply of nucleic acid (DNA) surrounded by a coat of protein, leaves its coat behind as it invades a cell. So it must be the DNA that contains the genetic information...
...searching for a buyer for his Instant Elephant breakfast-food kernels, which pop into animal shapes when milk is added. Foster D. Snell, Inc., which is under contract to several large food firms, is developing meatless ham made of vegetable protein, cholesterol-free eggs, and orange juice without citric acid.

Despite his acid criticism, McHarg is convinced that the U.S. can replan its cities, curb pollution and halt suburban chaos. As he notes, "America is land rich -90% of the people live on 2% of the land. The answer to our environmental problems is diffusion. The 100 million more people we expect in the next few decades could be settled in 100 new cities. We have everything we need: the land, brains, wealth, technology. We only need the desire-and leadership." Eventually, by helping to provide that leadership, McHarg may match the work of his hero, Capability Brown...
