...cats are better cared for than the 45,000 highly bred and often exotic pedigreed cats on the books of America's nine registry groups (see box). The Cat Fanciers' Association, the leading agency, lists 38,152 cats. While this hardly compares with the 26 million dogs registered with the American Kennel Club, raising new feline breeds is becoming more than a cottage pastime.

And when she speaks in that throaty, well-bred voice, she talks passionately about the poor--and her concern for them...
...demand that allows top-flight researchers and agricultural scientists "to write their own ticket." In California venture capitalists have provided "seed" money for Calgene in Davis and Phytogene in Pasadena. In St. Louis Monsanto has just added a gleaming molecular biology center to its agricultural research facilities. Pioneer Hi-Bred International, the nation's top breeder of seed corn, has broken ground for its own high-tech molecular biology lab in Des Moines...
