I have worked at Jackson Labs and seen the work done and the treatment of the animals. BTW Jackson is primarily a mammalian genetics research lab, they sell mice to stretch their grant money a bit further. The mice are well kept and killed painlessly (they break their necks). And while I would prefer that this practice wasn't necessary I much prefer that treatments for my loved one's ailments be researched.

Zodiac and Cryptonomicon (sp?) are my favorites books of his. But you really can't go wrong with any of them.
Great book, can't recommend it enough. If you read nothing else this summer, read Cryptonomicon.
