...cancer very seriously," says an ILO spokesman. "In the fall we will discuss multinational companies. It will be a very big study. We are also very concerned about migrant workers. Do you know about migrant workers?" There is talk that next year the General Assembly may create a general protein fund, naming a special coordinator for protein...
...illuminated sign of the Olympic Studio and Spa, featuring Joe Santo, Mr. Alabama. The studio, an upholstered gym, does a good business jiggling lard off businessmen, but Blake has no interest in that. What shakes his unsuspecting soul is the weight room, the preserve of the body builders-grotesque, protein-stuffed Narcissuses, men intent on becoming planets...
...title story, The Molecule Men, is the better of the two. What if a form of life existed that could modify its own genetic message, deliberately and with the speed and flexibility, say, of Fred Hoyle's imagination?

This is the fear that seizes Dr. John West, Cambridge scientist, as he sees a bank robber on trial at the Old Bailey turn himself into a swarm of malevolent bees. Soon after, the bees become a pack of ravening wolves and then, successively, a series of the earth's largest...

The growth of solid cancers appears to require the presence of a recently identified protein substance called tumor angiogenesis factor (T.A.F.). Though Folkman has been working with a variety of solid tumors, he told a neurosurgeons' meeting last week that his chief target has been certain malignancies of the brain, where the need for blood supply is greatest. The experiments show that tumors must...
