First line
In Paris, during the winter and spring of 1994, what was alternately characterized as a quarrel, a dispute, a struggle, a debate, a battle, or a scandal simmered and then flared up to a white-hot intensity before dissipating, as such things tend to do in Paris, as a government commission was formed to study the matter and the summer vacations approached.
From the rear cover
In 1993, an American biotechnology company and a French genetics lab developed a collaborative research plan to search for diabetes genes. But just as the project was to begin, the French government called it to a halt, barring the laboratory from sharing something never previously thought of as a commodity unto itself: French DNA.
