Nope, couldn't get them to work, either.

Dammit!

I"m far to lazy to redo that but here they are:
And the Band Played On

Genome War

Bad Blood.
They all have something in common: The search for a better diagnostic test, crazy big egos, and doing the impossible.

That last one DIDN"T do the impossible; the other two did. All three read like fiction (which is a compliment from me; I really like diverting pleasure-reading)

In a similar vein is "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," which even takes place mostly in our backyard (Baltimore).

I think I posted this on the duplicate thread, but I REALLY enjoyed The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.  I realize they may have made it into a movie (I never saw it), but I thought the book was really insightful into his world in Africa.

THank you.

Don't worry about it. I can't even get my fleur-de-lis back so I'll never remember.
