Luria soon discovered that mutations (a variation in characteristics from one generation to the next) occurred in the viruses, and that these changes were passed on to succeeding generations. Delbrück found that the genetic materials of different kinds of viruses infecting the same cell sometimes combined, producing a new and different kind of virus...

But I do recall Mrs. Pusey, as she looked at my light blue, summer sports coat with its white pin stripes, saying, "My." Pause. "Isn't that a colorful jacket?" Yes, I replied quite sincerely, I figured I'd try to get by with wearing it once more before the weather turned too cold. Mrs. Pusey quickly passed me off to some sub-dean, though not before...
