...haste to get a final ruling before Central High reopens in September, the N.A.A.C.P. had carried its case straight to Washington without waiting for a Court of Appeals decision.

The first living things, they say, were probably crude, simple versions of DNA. They floated in an ocean, or perhaps some smaller body of water, and floating around them were all sorts of organic molecules that had been formed by chemical chance. At long intervals the crude ancestral DNA found and seized some molecule that it wanted. When it had caught enough smaller molecules, it was ready to divide into two identical parts...
