...reproduce the DNA molecule essential to life. Harvard University Biochemists Argiris Efstratiades, Fotis Kafatos, Thomas Maniatis and Allen Maxam report that they have copied a mammalian gene, a unit of the DNA molecule that transmits a specific inherited trait. Their creation: the gene that orders the production of hemoglobin-a blood component-in rabbits...
...answer, quite naturally, lies somewhere in between. In synthesizing the gene that makes hemoglobin in rabbits, Thomas Maniatis, assistant professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Fotis Kafatos, professor of Biology; Argiris Efstraiadis, doctor candidate in Biology; and Allan Maxam, research assistant in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology have carried science closer to being able to understand how genes express themselves in higher organisms...
...gene synthesized was equivalent to the gene in rabbits that produces hemoglobin, Kafatos said. He added, though, that many genes can be produced in this manner and that the rabbit gene had been selected because it is a common subject of research...
...limply to the side, eyes closed and mouth agape, its body swaddled in a green-and-white T shirt that bore the words HELLO, DARLING. Said Clinic Director Carl B. Harris of Washington, D.C.: "It's not only the babies who are starving. Many of the mothers have hemoglobin levels below...

Some bleeding continued, his hemoglobin dropped slightly, leading to more transfusions, and other intensive-care monitoring continued. Sparse, naggingly incomplete bulletins continued to be issued by Nixon's doctors, and the hospital listed him in "critical" condition...
