    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful to friends who graciously shared my labors. Mr. Robert Tilley of the Columbia University Press read each chapter from the point of view of the lay reader and tried to lead me back to within bounds of readability whenever I strayed into the jargon of scientese. He thus served both as a guinea pig and a guide. Drs. Michael Heidelberger and Rollin Hotchkiss very kindly took time out from their laboratories to reminisce about their former associate, the late Oswald Avery. My colleague, Dr. P. R. Srinivasan, and two former students, Drs. Ann Ryan and Erwin Fleissner, read the manuscript and corrected, it is hoped, most of my errors. Mrs. Irene Marsh and Dr. Géraldine Poppa were, as before, my trusted proofreaders. Finally, I am grateful to Dr. Clarke, to whom this book is dedicated, for a critical reading of the manuscript for both style and content.
