Williams will continue to expand the Adams tree family. Each spring he will take a few seeds from the old tree and start them out on a Maryland farm. After three years of growth, they will be transplanted to their permanent homes. None of the cousins will be so special as the one planted in March on the Jefferson mound. It has the classic vase shape of Ulmus americana. Its trunk is already 4-in. in diameter, and its upper branches in a couple of years will brush the lower limbs of the patriarch.

Thousands of listening posts worldwide and a vast computer complex in Maryland allow the NSA to tap into and record all electronic messages entering or leaving the country.

Genetic engineering is still undergoing the shake-out that afflicts any young industry, especially one that has attracted some 300 new entrants in the past two years. Bethesda Research Laboratories of Maryland had to narrow its focus last year after trying too many research efforts at once. To conserve $130 million in capital, Cetus Corp. of Berkeley, Calif., one of the industry's largest firms, shut down five of 13 major projects this past summer and ended probes into several other costly areas. A number of companies have failed only a year or two after their startup. Southern Biotech...
