Since he won't get space in J.J.'s column until he does, Falco resorts in turn to blackmailing one rival columnist and procuring a prostitute for another in order to have an item smearing Dallas printed in the papers. Just to make sure, he plants marijuana in Dallas' coat and has him beaten and then arrested by a Hunsecker-owned police officer. Indeed, Sidney walks in "moral twilight," "a cookie full of arsenic...

Most are formerly virulent strains that have been "attenuated" by growing them in animals (or eggs) that are not their natural prey. These must then be tested to make sure that after being allowed to grow in the human digestive system they do not revert to virulent form.
