Back then, in fact, he marched regularly in the streets of Berkeley, Calif., taking part in civil rights and antiwar demonstrations. Despite his casual look, Herbert Wayne Boyer is a millionaire many times over, at least on paper.

Last year he led a different type of demonstration: the parade of scientists who are taking gene engineering out of the laboratory and into the marketplace, where it promises a host of wonders, from new drugs and foodstuffs to pollution-gobbling bugs...
