...costs to obtain an official certificate of parentage. While the official certificate identifies paternity through a series of blood analyses, the commercial test, based on state-of-the-art genetic-research technology, establishes parentage by comparing the genetic profile of parent and child through the so-called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It takes would-or-would-not-be fathers only a phone call, an e-mail or a quick visit to the local pharmacy to get the kit containing test tubes and sterile cotton-wool sticks for swabbing the inside of a child's cheek. The subsequent analysis, done...

Any "associate" (the company doesn't use the word employee) can speak directly to any other without going through a chain of command. And together the 6,000 associates own the company. Sound like pie in the sky? The system has worked superbly for 44 years. Despite the recession last year, sales at Gore, based in Newark, Del., reached $1.4 billion, up from $1.3 billion...
