Venter is now ensconced in the J. Craig Venter Institute, where he's pursuing a dizzying array of wild-sounding research projects—decoding the DNA of novel ocean water, building bacteria that could produce biofuels, and so on. The idea, as always, is to save the world—he is, in other words, as egomaniacal and driven as ever. That's good for us. May God grant him another wow finish.

    Le chant de la mort.

    Un tendre rayon dispara??t comme la chant
    du soleil ??coutant la lumi??re et une douce
    harmonie; j'appelle une pens??e quand la
    matinale rue arrive, tendrement, dans le son
    de la vie, la d??licate neige d??crit le silence
    et alors, avec elle, un souffle tr??s l??ger d??sire
    la jeunesse: et j'attends le matin, l'automne
    d??sol?? pour la mort de la feuille, le vent
    silencieux.

    Breaths and beautiful sounds.

    In the amazing
    song of a little
    blackbird chanting
    alone in a beautiful
    dream I hear
    glimmers of magical
    quietness, the love
    for the dark and
    a tender idea
    recalling the silence.
