| | Watson and Crick |
 | | Says McKusick, "Donahue had the wit and the gumption to do a linkage study: the wit to sense that this might be a Mendelian character in his family, and the gumption to collect blood samples from his far-flung family and put together a pattern of inheritance." | | | McKusick recognized that the syndrome could be caused by a gene defect that affected a single element of connective tissue. | | | McKusick may be best known for publishing the "bible" of medical genetics, Mendelian Inheritance in Man, which summarizes facts on every known human trait influenced by a single gene. |

| | THE ROMANCE READER reviews: Perfect Secrets by Brenda Joyce, Kathleen Kane, Judith OBrien & Delia Parr |
| | Not surprisingly, the timid seamstress has the gumption to force the hero to see the error of his ways; he in turn helps her figure out how to redeem herself. | | | Although this collection includes two good short stories, and I was left wishing the Joyce novella had been more fully developed, the book is not one I can wholeheartedly recommend. | | | With four different authors, diverse time periods and settings, and a near-jarring difference in sub-genres, the perfect secret is how the publisher arrived at the mix. |
