...totally synthetic blood substitute for rats, President Bok admits that he is not surprised. "I'm totally synthetic myself," Bok adds. In an elaboration of his report on the unimportance of integration in education, Christopher Jencks concludes that in fact all education is unimportant. "People are like sheep," Jencks tells reporters gathered around him on the steps of St. Paul's Church, "God will tell us what we ought to know." While Dean Dunlop grants Zeph Stewart an extension to research further his reportion cohabitation in the Houses. Master Stewart airs preliminary findings that cohabitation has been cut in half...
During the first 15 minutes of every episode, a seemingly perfect murder. Then, for more than an hour, Los Angeles Police Lieutenant Columbo tries to figure out what the viewer already knows. Looking and acting more like a befuddled sheep dog than a crafty bloodhound, Columbo (Peter Falk) sets to work. The viewer works with him, wincing, sighing and occasionally sitting up in excitement as Columbo stumbles step by step to the tiny flaw that will unravel the murder's protective coat...
...Logan is one of those grave, gritty Westerners whose dignity seems to have been whipped into him by the prairie wind. He is a sheep farmer, not poor but far from prosperous, a widower and a careful father.

Logan rushes Chris to the hospital and is advised by his personal physician and old friend (Richard Basehart) to admit himself as well. Chris convulses...

First he tells Laban to cull all spotted sheep and goats out of the flock for safekeeping, then offers to tend the "monochrome" remainder (white sheep, black goats), taking only spotted offspring as his pay. Laban quickly agrees. Jacob sets about having the animals couple in front of peeled branches. They produce large numbers of spotted offspring, and Jacob becomes rich...
...Israeli Botanist Yehuda Feliks. Writing in a monumental new set of reference books called the Encyclopedia Judaica, Feliks identifies Jacob's secret as a keen perception of the laws of heredity. (The peeled branches were just window dressing.) Jacob apparently knew from a dream that the hybrids (white sheep and black goats that carried recessive genes of "spottedness") matured sexually earlier than the pure monochromes in the flock. He mated the hybrids, and their recessive genes emerged to produce a maximum of spotted offspring in each generation. He set aside the pure monochromes, unbred, as Laban's share...
