...bearded Surgeon Petrucci, 38, and his coworkers, Drs. Laura de Pauli and Raffaele Bernabeo, artificial insemination started as a sideline. They began growing test-tube human embryos three years ago, in a tiny lab behind Petrucci's Bologna office, to get newborn cells for experiments in antibody response to transplanted tissue.

Their "need" was made clear in a 1957 report that only 18% of Harvard's scholarship holders came from families with incomes below $4,000. Worse, such colleges' "reliance on test scores and high school grades has led to a relatively narrow kind of talent-searching-the search for good grade-getters."
