This is far different from Mildred Dunnock on Broadway, but it is closer to what Williams indicates in the text, where Big Mama is likened to a "Japanese wrestler."

His co-discovery in 1970 of the enzyme reverse transcriptase helped scientists in their search for a cancer-causing virus and led him to synthesize for the first time a portion of a mammalian gene, thus bringing closer the prospect of genetic engineering and control over life. Fearful about what that might mean, the M.l.T.-educated Baltimore is now spearheading efforts to protect the public from "bio-hazards."
