"Recent work has shown," he says, "that malignant cells that develop after infection by a virus do not necessarily continue to hold the virus.

Then it can continue to go wrong by itself." This may happen in human cancers, too, and since viruses carry only small...
...observations of his predecessors . . . The one who places the last stone and steps across to the terra firma of accomplished discovery gets all the credit."
