That shortage may soon be eased. In the most dramatic display yet of the controversial genetic engineering technique known as recombinant DNA, independent teams at the University of California in San Francisco and at a small commercial research firm, Genentech Inc., in nearby Palo Alto, used human pituitary tissue to construct the gene, or DNA segment, responsible for the production of somatotropin. They then implanted it in the genetic machinery of a laboratory strain of the common intestinal bacterium Escherichia coli. The gene splicing worked: the re-engineered bugs began to make...

Ingrid Bergman complained that she did not know how to act toward the two men because she didn't know her fate. Screenwriter Julius Epstein told her simply, "As soon as we know, we'll let you know." Finally, the director decided to shoot both endings. The first exit-Bergman flying off with Henreid-left Bogart looking so good and noble and selfless that the second ending was never filmed.
