Other companies are starting to look for fresh new antimicrobial agents. Cubist, in Cambridge, Mass., has an injectable form of one such agent--daptomycin--in late-stage clinical trials. Like tetracycline, it was derived from filamentous bacteria that dwell in both soil and water. But daptomycin does not work as tetracycline does by inhibiting cellular metabolism. Rather, it disrupts the conformation of the bacterium's cell membrane, more like penicillin. The way daptomycin does this appears to be unique; in other words, the resistance that disease-causing bacteria have developed to penicillin should not readily transfer to daptomycin...

Briefly, here's how: in late 1999, a small boat sank while making its perilous way from Cuba to Florida. Six-year-old Elian Gonzalez's mother and 10 other refugees drowned. Elian was picked up by two fishermen as he floated in an inner tube off Florida's coast. The boy had relatives in Miami, and they took him in. Immediately, debate flared over whether Elian should stay...
