"[...] Here, my friends, is where the new Russian
Intelligence weapon enters the picture.

What I am about to reveal I am revealing primarily for
history. I know even before I reveal it that some of my
listeners will desert me after they hear it, saying "It just
cannot be"; but, my friends, I also know that the events in the
days ahead will be impossible to understand without knowing this
secret. So I do not ask that you believe it simply because I say
it. What I do ask--and I ask it for your own good--is that you
keep an open mind. Listen and hear what I must now reveal, then
watch events themselves.

My friends, since World War II and before, scientists the
world over have been probing for the basic secrets of life
itself; and in this field as in others, progress has been much
faster than the public has been led to believe. Today it's
common knowledge that heredity is governed by something called
genes, yet barely a generation ago this relationship was only
beginning to be suspected. When it was suggested in 1944 by a
theoretical physicist, Erwin Schrodinger, it was a novel idea.
Beyond that no one was too certain what genes were aside from
huge molecules or clusters of molecules. Some thought they were
molecular chunks of protein, some thought they were something
else. When Schrodinger's ideas about genes were published, World
War II was still raging and basic scientific research was on a
back burner; and yet, barely a half a dozen years later,
researchers were zeroing in on a building block of life even more
basic than genes. The solution was found to this revolutionary
puzzle in April 1953 at Cambridge University in England.
Scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were
later to share the Nobel Prize for solving the puzzle. They had
discovered the molecular structure of DNA, the famous "double
helix." In 1968 Watson published a book titled "THE DOUBLE
HELIX", published by Athenaeum, New York, N.Y. To understand the
overwhelming importance of the double helix discovery in 1953,
one need go no further than these few words on the jacket of the
book:

"DNA is the molecule of heredity, and to know its structure and
method of reproduction enables science to know how genetic
directions are written and transmitted, how the forms of life are
ordered from one generation to the next."

In other words, to understand DNA is to begin to understand life
itself.

It has now been over a quarter century since the crucial
discovery of the DNA double helix, and since then research in
molecular biology has not been standing still but speeding up.
In some cases research has gone in directions which are
deliberately sheltered from publicity because of the fear of
public reaction. Not so long ago, for example, universities
doing research into artificial microbes found their neighbors in
an ugly mood when they found out about it. Test tube babies are
now a reality, and that began not long ago in England where the
mystery of DNA was first unraveled. Then, of course, there are
clones--that is, creatures which are reproduced by artificial
means and which are exact duplicates of an original. Clones of
all kinds of animals have been produced successfully in the
laboratory, but that is not what bothers people. In the recent
past it has been claimed that human clones are also possible and
that some may already be in existence. These last claims about
human clones have been ridiculed, denied, and suppressed by all
kinds of officials--the reason is that the idea of duplicate
human beings impinges upon a super-secret realm of Intelligence
activities by both Russia and the United States. True clones are
not involved, but something that bears a superficial resemblance
to cloning is going on; and the last thing the powers-that-be
want is for you and the public to have any hint about what is
afoot. [...]"
