OK, so I'll solve it. The quote is maybe more well-known than the man who spoke the sentence, Theodosius Dobzhansky, one of the unifiers of evolutionary theory and genetics, foremost promoter of the Drosophila model, and co-founder of molecular biology. I was quite astonished to learn he never won a Nobel. The quote is the title of an essay criticizing the new tendency in America to espouse ideas of creationism (of course that was in the 60s, long ago. Luckily, these times are long ov... :shock: ).

I've never heard of him either, but am short of actual embarrassment about that given my almost perfectly complete ignorance of his field.

Shit. This is so long ago, I've long since forgotten who the auther is. I,'ll try to reconstruct it, otherwise I'll just post anew one.

None until you asked. I still can't figure out who made the first statement (it could have been a lot of people, really), so I'll go with the second part of my promise:

Who wrote:Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. [...] I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.

It was probably too obvious. The rambling, incoherent style is a dead giveaway, isn't it?

Your turn.
