PLANTED IN MICE
Excerpted from UNKNOWN NEWSPAPER CLIP, 5/30/97, [quoting:]
Scientists have managed to insert large chunks of human DNA in mice, an astonishing breakthrough that
will allow a new generation of research into genes, birth defects and genetic diseases.
Researchers have put human DNA into mice for years, but not on this scale. Some of the newly developed
mice have a complete human chromosome—one of the rod-like structures that hold genes—containing
some 50 times the amount of DNA scientists had been able to transfer before.
Not only did the transplanted genes work normally, but some of the mice were also able to pass the chunks
of DNA they got onto their offspring.
Nearly all the mice looked normal, though some males had small testes and were sterile.
The results are “incredible”, said Alcino Silva, a mouse genetics researcher at the Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.
Scientists didn’t think that chromosome-size chunks of DNA from one mammal could settle in permanently
in a different mammal and function normally, he said.
And “it’s amazing that such large fragments of DNA can be passed on to their offspring,” Silva said. [End

We must organize all labor, no matter how dirty and arduous it may be, so that every [citizen] may regard
himself as part of that great army of free labor.... The generation that is now fifteen years old... must arrange
all their tasks of education in such a way that every day, and in every city, the young people shall engage in
the practical solution of the problems of common labor, even of the smallest, most simple kind. —Vladimir
Lenin
Imagine an army of 100,000 young people restoring urban and rural communities and giving their labor in
exchange for education and training... [National Service] will harness the energy of our youth and attack
the problems of our time. It literally has the potential to revolutionize the way young people all across
America look at their country and feel about themselves. —Bill Clinton
