...roads to Mecca were jammed with lengthy processions of vehicles: flashy American cars, Japanese tricycle vans, barefoot pedestrians. As travelers reached the checking post marking the border of the city, they stopped and waited for a guard to inspect their passports for religious identification before he opened the road to them. Only Moslems were allowed to enter Mecca, since they alone came for the religious reasons which justify entering a city that has been closed to non-Moslems for almost 1300 years.

Now we see the fingers of a second person palpating the flesh of this face, neither gently nor roughly, folding back the upper lip to examine the teeth; turning the head to inspect the lobe of an ear.

...while it is necessary that Harvard's committee continue to inspect facilities and for the NIH to be constantly aware of the activities being performed in P-3 facilities, the question at hand may essentially boil down to whether or not science should be restrained. For those who are strongly opposed to the research, there must be more assurance from Washington officials that the results produced from recombinant DNA research will not be abused.

Few of the celebrated French engineers De Lesseps invited to inspect his plan approved it (among the doubters: Gustave Eiffel, the tower builder). The doubts were soon borne out: in 1889, De Lesseps' company went bankrupt. By that time, the French had moved 50 million cubic meters of earth?two-thirds of the amount moved at Suez. In the process, some 20,000 workers died of malaria and yellow fever (whose causes were thought to be noxious jungle vapors...
