...when it was learned that Haig, without properly consulting other Cabinet members, had given the French tacit approval to sell 600,000 tons of wheat to the Soviets. The White House attempted to play down the incident in the hope that it would blow over, but talk continued to float around Washington that Haig might resign, and that the White House was already looking for a successor...

But Cohen had isolated some bits of genetic material that float freely in the bacterium outside this main genetic repository. These bits of genetic "small change" are known as plasmids. A plasmid contains as few as three or four genes linked in a small circle, yet it sometimes is crucial to bacterial survival...
...twisting, knotted, tangled-sprout upward from the floor or hang in clusters from the ceiling. They proliferate like brain coral, elkhorn, lacy underwater fans; the wall beyond them dissolves into patches and drifts of submarine color. It is the octopus' garden, and walking through it one seems to float.
