My edition (second) has a brief discussion of molecular drive. I've also
got, someone in nonvirtual storage, other papers on molecular drive. No

perhaps some other technical journals. I'm sure a good search of a
periodicals book will list all of them.

Now, will anyone else read _Evolution as Entropy_!?!:)
