Re Christianity and attendant conflicts for our eponymous natural
philosophers in M&D, this NYTimes story today about the science of bread
might be interesting to some of you. Love that Tyro-ne echo, too.

"Now researchers at Kansas State University have shown that the fundamental
process occurring in gluten is the development of links among molecules of
tyrosine, an amino acid that is part of the gluten protein chain."





"This is, effectively, to assert the resurrection of the body, today as
throughout history an unavoidably revolutionary idea."
-Thomas Pynchon
