>From the past, a prescient question that would not be out of place amid the
recent SANET postings on the future of genetic engineering, and an answer we
might all do well to keep in mind:

What will the international partnerships of the world laboratories
track down next, what new fuels, amalgams, alloys, seeds, cross-breeds,
unforeseen short cuts to power?
Whose guess is better than anybody else's on whether the breed of
fire-bringers is run out?

>From Carl Sandburg, "The People, Yes" (1936)
