Blackbirds wing over the blowing tassels, plucking caterpillars from among the leaves and blowing silk, oblivious to the round-the-clock rumble of the highway.

He reasoned that if the RNA had served as a template for DNA, the RNA wou'd be complementary to one strand of the DNA and should be able to join it, forming a double-stranded hybrid. He mixed minute amounts of both molecules and whirled them in a centrifuge for three days. Because the density of RNA is different from that of DNA, the strands gradually separated in the test tube, forming two distinct layers. To his delight there also appeared a third layer, which proved...

It has been a bestseller since the day it left its publisher's cocoon some weeks ago. Grateful Columbia Pictures has already snapped...
