...HONORS for making the breakthrough discovery went to a traditional bacteriologist. Taking purified DNA extracted from the chromosomes of dead pneumonia bacteria, Rockefeller Institute's Oswald T. Avery and his associates showed that it could transform other, normally harmless bacteria into virulent ones. The experiment indicated that it was DNA, and not protein, that carried the genetic message. So unexpected was that finding that even Avery was at first unwilling to accept it. Eight years later, Alfred Hershey and his assistant Martha Chase demonstrated that a virus' DNA could, by taking over a bacterium, also nullify the cell's genetic...
...America, it doesn't make sense for these "revolutionaries" to bombard us with paper balls and marshmallows-they should have used REAL instruments of revolutionary violence.

Individual images of the bourgeoisie, for example, are never caricatured (ef. Eisenstein) in sequences of their normal activities that are perfectly harmless in hemelves: relaxing at the beach, golfing, socializing at a cattle auction.

If the Archibald Coxes of this world had expended as much energy in attacking the war as they have in attacking a relatively harmless act (after all, no one was maimed, and no American villages were bombed), perhaps the war would have been over a long time...
