...Magellan, are all folks to invest by. It's still too early to rate Stansky's run at Magellan, but he was a standout at the Growth Company Fund. Fidelity's array of 35 sector funds, each of which invests in specific industries, makes sense for those with a hunch about, say, oil companies or food stocks. For instance, its Select Retailing Portfolio's yield in 1996 to date is 25%; Energy, 19%. The company's technical sophistication lets consumers get at their accounts by phone, personal computer and, soon, the Internet...

"This is the type of spark that is required to get something going," says Illinois state representative Peter Roskam.

Duboule concedes that "this is not even a real hypothesis," just a hunch, and that testing it will not be easy. One problem, contends Harvard's Tabin, is that Duboule and his colleagues studied "the wrong fish." Zebrafish are prolific and easy to raise under laboratory conditions, but they are advanced in evolutionary terms. A study of more primitive sea life, such as sharks or sturgeon, might yield greater amounts of evolutionary information; even better subjects would be lungfish and coelacanths, mysterious, nearly extinct creatures that lurk in the ocean depths and are the living fish closest to the fishlike...
