...University of Minnesota's Epidemiologist Leonard M. Schuman, the more he has to learn about controlling them. And this circular motion has speeded up enormously. Up to 1947 only 60 viruses had been listed as causing disease in man, and a mere 20 of these singled out the human species as their prime prey. The rest, like the one that causes eastern equine encephalitis (TIME, Oct. 5), normally attack lower animals, infect man accidentally, said Dr. Schuman...

And a single virus may touch off, in different people, symptoms ranging from a "cold," a "sore throat," or "fever" to paralytic polio.

When, in the present book, Flem is murdered by a pathetically ignorant relative for the best of Snopes reasons, the killing seems not only justifiable but long overdue...

Chevalier's most tantalizing implication is that Bloch, blind as Oedipus in his pride, believes that only he can control the use and abuse of the superbomb. In this light, Mark Ampter is a human sacrifice to Bloch's God complex. This^ view may be colored by Chevalier's personal resentment (although he claims that "this book was written not with hatred but with love," the novel's underlying tone suggests an ex-worshipper stomping on a fallen idol). But strangely enough, the Atomic Energy Commission came to a very similar conclusion about Oppenheimer...
