#1 Pincus was a biologist and the world’s leading expert in mammalian reproduction. He had attempted to breed rabbits in Petri dishes using much the same technology that decades later would lead to in vitro fertilization for humans. But Americans were not ready to hear such things.

#2 Pincus and his colleague Hudson Hoagland, who had also been working on birth control, launched their own scientific research center. They went door to door in Worcester and the surrounding area, collecting donations, and eventually bought an old house in nearby Shrewsbury.

#3 In the early 1950s, America seemed staid and steadfast. The country had scarred the earth but also transformed it, offering the promise of a better, freer world.

#4 Sanger was finally able to get the birth control pill, and it changed the world. But driving was another matter. It was a competitive sport with Pincus. His passengers were white-knuckle their armrests and ask why he was in such a hurry, but Pincus, utterly calm behind the wheel, thought little of it.
