Abstract
Let me begin with an apology. My original intention was to present a synthesis of what is known about mutation and repair in the yeast and try to define a conclusive theory or single hypothesis consistent with the available data. When, however, I was confronted with the task of writing down on paper such coherent ideas, I realized my complete inadequacy to formulate any general theory. Consequently, I shall just tell you now my little story, containing some of the many possible approaches to the problem under discussion, in the hope that the theory, or the organic vision that is needed today by everybody, will result from the critical inspection and discussion of all available data, which is exactly the aim of meetings like the one we are attending.
