...times across the "Antarctic Convergence," where cold water from the south dives under the warmer water of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. This region boils with life, from tiny diatoms to whales, and marine biologists believe it may some day become the world's richest source of protein food...
Meanwhile Khrushchev, on a tour of Byelorussia, told hog farmers that he was "not here to read Pushkin's poems. You will read poems without me. I came to expose shortcomings." To dairy farmers, the peasant Premier proposed a taste test to decide between his recommendation for high protein cattle feed (sugar beets, peas) or simple hay, which some scientists favor.

While scientific students are confronted by revealed fact in their courses graduate can often say new and significant things about historical problem...
Lederberg is familiar with all the reasons why nonearthly life will probably perish when exposed to an earthly environment. But he points out that earth's scientists know only one kind of life, the familiar earthly form based on amino acids linked into protein molecules. This sort of life requires a watery environment and a narrow range of temperature. Elsewhere in the universe there may be living organisms that contain no amino acids, need no water, and can live and multiply at extremely high or extremely low temperatures. Such exobiota might do better on earth than native living creatures...
