...crops can be matched in animals and fowl. One of the pioneer researchers was Dr. E. Parmalee Prentice, a son-in-law of John D. Rockefeller. In the 19205, at his farm in Massachusetts, many strains were combined to produce the superior White Leghorn, now the basic egg-laying hen in the U.S. Today some 30 hatcheries specialize in producing laying pullets, have helped to push U.S. yearly egg production per hen up from...
...more prolific egg layer has required more and more automation. Near Atlanta, Ga., Layer Breeder Roy Durr produced 500,000 chickens last year trying to keep up with orders for layers. He puts the eggs in special incubators that vastly improve on the maternal solicitude of real hens. A hen often forgets to turn her eggs (causing the membrane lining to adhere to the shell and killing the fetus), or in hot dry weather leaves the nest and lets them dry out. Durr's mechanical mother turns each egg every hour, and when a thermometer warns that the relative...
Legendary Grandfather. In 1815 Europeans began penetrating the thick forests of Guinea, which was to give its name to a coin of purest gold, a kind of grass, and a species of hen.

He also has a mournful hound-dog named Edward R. Bow-Wow, who delivers historical newscasts over See It Now-Wow. But if TV is willing, Baird proposes something grander: serious news shows using puppets (Khrushchev, Dulles, et al.), with graphic, moving geopolitical maps. "Nothing to it," says Puppeteer Baird. "In this art, the whole world is at your fingertips...
...abasement. Everything else we shall destroy-everything. Already . . . no one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth as one takes eggs from a hen . . . There will be no loyalty, except loyalty to the party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother...
