...protoplasm, and inside the nucleus reside the powerful chromosomes, which most geneticists believe are like a chemical oligarchy controlling the activities of a chemical nation. If the cell is a fertilized egg, the chromosomes possess all the information needed to build the cell into a bug or a whale...
...said Massachusetts' John Fitzgerald Kennedy one afternoon last week from his outpost in the Senate's rear row, "is little more than a pious admonition of concern."
