...remarkable transformation takes place. With the help of the enzyme, the naked AIDS virus converts its RNA into double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the master molecule of life. The molecule then penetrates the cell nucleus, inserts itself into a chromosome and takes over part of the cellular machinery, directing it to produce more AIDS viruses. Eventually, overcome by its alien product, the cell swells and dies, releasing a flood of new viruses to attack other cells, including more helper T cells and macrophages. The immune system, deprived of a crucial number of those vital T cells, is unable to direct...

Such weights evoke violent reactions. The futurists set out to create the image of an Italy that did not yet exist, a utopia of tension and transformation whose god was the machine.

Finally, with lawmakers lining up to introduce 60-odd additional amendments, the Senate put off a final vote on the whole bill until Tuesday...
