The negotiated realignment among major powers will increase the worth of Japanese yen by 17% in terms of the "old" dollar; in all, the West German mark will go up 13.5% against the dollar, and the Dutch guilder and the Belgian franc will rise 11.5%. The French franc and British pound will be formally unchanged; but, with the dollar's devaluation, they will go up 8.6% relative to U.S. money. Italy and Sweden will devalue their currencies slightly, by 1% each, but still end up 7.6% higher than the dollar. In return, Treasury Secretary John Connally said...

Once he obtained enough of the enzyme, he placed it in a test-tube brew with a bit of natural DNA, one of whose strands was incomplete, the four bases (A, T, C, G) and a few other off-the-shelf chemicals.
