...tempted to raise consumer prices by an extra dollop, using as their understandable excuse the fact that devaluation brought on an automatic increase in the cost of imported raw materials. On their side, unions are girding for a series of major contract negotiations this summer and autumn with wage-rise demands totaling more than a billion dollars. Among the demands: 3,000,000 heavy-machinery workers asking a 10% increase; 1,250,000 construction men seeking 15%, and 750,000 retail-distribution employees demanding 10%.

This demonstrates that stable messenger RNA for making an embryo had been stored in the egg's cytoplasm. Storage may well be the level where the critical choice might reside in the cells of higher organisms. This is not the case for very simple cells like bacteria, where the genetic information is transcribed into RNA and immediately translated into protein. Kafatos explained that, due to the great instability of the bacterial world, bacteria...
