...structure of many viruses in their conventional forms is well known. They consist of a core of nucleic acid-either ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-wrapped in a protein overcoat. It is in this form that they are most readily detectable. And also, it appears, most active: the naked nucleic acid alone (stripped of its overcoat by delicate chemical means) can produce most of the effects of the whole virus, but it is a thousand times less powerful. Evidently, the researchers suggest, the virus needs to be "carefully packaged for safe transmission." One effective package design is like...

Upon redeeming this ticket with the youn-man-in-charge-of-drinks, the naive purchaser was handed a glass of slightly flavored ice cubes. The "run" still remains a dark mystery...
