mother."
    "Excuse me, Dr. Anderson, it's my understanding that the first in vitro fertilization and successful birth took place in England in 1978. I believe Drs. Steptoe and Edwards were the first pioneers."
    Dr. Anderson frowned. "They were the ones who got the credit for being first... but Talpish and I were about twelve years ahead of them. We weren't allowed to publish our results or talk to anyone about them."
    Murphy was really interested now.
    Dr. Anderson continued, hardly taking a breath. He had a secret that he wanted to divulge and Murphy had a listening ear. "We artificially inseminated a donor egg and implanted it into the uterus of a young Gypsy woman, a girl of about eighteen years of age. It was a very strange situation. We were hired by a group of people who identified themselves as Friends of the New World Order. They paid us a great deal of money to artificially inseminate the girl."
    "When you say strange, what do you mean?"
    "Well, this group of people provided the egg and also the semen. Our job was to put them together and implant an egg into the girl. We were sworn to absolute secrecy. We stayed with the project until the birth of the child. It was a boy. Then--"

    "Then what?" Murphy was fascinated.
    "My associate, Dr. Talpish, was killed in a mysterious automobile accident. I soon realized that it was not an accident. I believe the group of people who hired us had him murdered. To protect myself, I shipped all of my papers and project notes to my daughter in the United States. She placed them into a safe deposit box. I left instructions with her that if I were to die mysteriously she should mail the notes to the newspapers.
    "It wasn't long after the death of Dr. Talpish that some of the group that had hired us paid me a visit. I had the feeling that they were going to do something to me, so I spoke up before they had a chance. I told them that I had sent my papers to the United States for safekeeping. They were irate, threatened me. They told me that if I ever said anything to anyone, they would kill my wife and my daughter. And they meant it!"
    "Is your family still alive?"
    "No, a couple years later my wife passed away It was a natural death. I then went to live with my daughter. She never married. She died of liver disease about a year ago. Then I came to live in this home."
    "Have you heard from the group again?" Murphy asked.
    "No, they've left me alone. I think they don't want to stir things up."
    "So why are you walking the streets telling your story now?"
    "I guess I want to clear my conscience," the old man said. "I think we did something terribly bad. I was able to follow up on the boy the Gypsy woman bore for

    about five years and then I lost contact. I think the group moved the woman somewhere--or got rid of her. I'm not sure. Recently I started doing some reading about prophecy and the Bible. What I read frightened me. It talked about a coming evil person who would rule the world. The more I read, the more I became convinced that Dr. Talpish and I had possibly helped in the birth of that person. It's all in my papers in the safe deposit box."
    Murphy was riveted.
    "I've been diagnosed with leukemia; the doctors have given me only a few months to live. My wife and daughter are dead, and I will soon be joining them. What possible harm can the group do to me now?" Dr. Anderson asked with a wry smile. "I want to try to do something to make up for my past actions. I need to alert people of the danger ahead. I feel so guilty, like Judas in the Bible--the one who betrayed Jesus. How can God ever forgive me?"
    A look of frustration and fear came over his face.
    Murphy could sense the pain that he must have been carrying for years. "God will forgive you," he said emphatically. "He forgives anyone who will come to Him, no matter how wicked or selfish they have been."
    "I haven't been concerned about God for my eighty-plus years. It's too late for me now."
    "It's never too late. Do you
