Menken's lyricist, Stephen Schwartz of Broadway's Godspell and Pippin, has a poetic righteousness that deftly avoids propaganda.

But, no, this strange beast crawled--actually it flew--out of the pages of the august journal Science last week. In a new study, researchers from the University of Basel in Switzerland described how they genetically engineered swarms of bizarre fruit flies-not as an attention-grabbing stunt but as part of a serious effort to understand how nature fashions something as magnificent...
