...cowpox virus by inserting a gene from another virus-herpes, hepatitis B or influenza (see diagram). The goal of these microscopic manipulations is to develop a vaccine that will fool the immune system and make it swing into action. A smallpox preventive that expresses a herpes trait, for instance, will provoke the body into creating antibodies against herpes. The person is then protectively armed against an actual attack of the disease...

If some of the school's better-known graduates, like Cunningham and Agee, have acquired a reputation for backstabbing, they possessed the trait long before their arrival at Harvard...
