Letter: Letters : One in the eyelet

Published 16 August 1997

From Graham Bonham

Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

Do I get a prize for being the millionth reader to point out the error in the
reference to “eyelet” cells
(This Week, 26 July, p 18),
which should be “islet” cells as in islets of Langerhans?

Your editorial in the same issue (p 3)
carries the statement in relation to
Jurassic Park that “all the dinosaurs created by overeager gene cloners
appeared dead at the end of the first movie”. Did the person who wrote that see
a different version of the film to the one I have on video? In the version I
have, the people escape the island by helicopter, leaving the majority of the
dinosaurs very much alive.
