What was her rating after insemination? Did the emotional shock...?

This certainly could be a big night for Center!

Those stupid mathematicians could learn something of heredity from their own ancients, the Geno-Sar continued, growing heated.

Think of Liebnitz, gifted at 14--Galois, a genius before he was 21!

Of course, I didn't say that at the meeting--the Bureau chief is very partial to Math--but I did remind them, most pointedly, of the known data on inherited sensory differences between individuals. And you should have seen the squirming! Especially when I got into the taste studies and the phenyl-thio-carbamide tests! Then, when I told of Genetics research on sense of time--sense of direction--sensitivity to pain, sound and smells--Well, the Chief was hanging on my every word! The Psycho-Sar became desperate to the point of rashness, and he jibed at me about our ancient master, Profim Lysenko. The Geno-Sar's head inclined slightly as he pronounced the name.
