But more conspicuous are the new housing developments where small kids ride bicycles with high-rise handlebars and long seats like the ones on their older brothers' Hondas and Harleys; more conspicuous are three perfectly-manicured Little League fields across the street from the semi-pro Alaska Gold-pannier's Field, where families in station wagons pull in every summer night to cheer for their sons; more conspicuous are the modern churches, the fancy airline offices, the laundromats, the suburban-style family theater, and the Disney-Frontier-land-like amusement park called Alaskaland all built along...

For example, when discussing ribosomal structure, Watson says that "not even a semi-satisfactory hypothesis now exists for why ribosomes contain rRNA as well as protein." Nevertheless, in the next few sentences, Watson suggests a possible explanation for the function of rRNA at the ribosome; the reader who isn't satisfied with scientific ignorance is invited to consider Watson's opinions...
