Lyndon got his bachelor of science degree with a government major in August 1930, became an instructor in public speaking and business arithmetic at Sam Houston High in Houston the next month. Business Student James Sager recalls that Lyndon "could put a column of ten figures on the board and by the time he got to the bottom he'd have added them all up in his head."

Further experiments may link nonchromosomal genes with the inherited...
