Memo from To:

NOVI 197

some references

1. Viruses in fungi. See,e.g., HA Wood,
Virology 44:592 1971 -- and references
there to Banks, Hollings. See also
Banks, Nature 98/1/70 (227:505).

2. "Reduction in dimensionality" This idea
has been kicking around for decades in the
context of the mechanism of chromosome synap-
sis -- with such phrases as "zipper effect".
I can't pin down its historical origins, but
suspect that E.B.Wilson covered it <1925.

Or did you formulate it in 1941?
