Wishful thinking? Maybe not. In papers published just a week apart in the journals Science and Cell, two teams of researchers--one led by Nobel-prizewinning biochemist Thomas Cech of the University of Colorado, the other by M.I.T.'s Weinberg--have announced a breakthrough that could help bring about such a drug. Both teams have managed to clone a gene that controls the activity of the telomerase enzyme in human cells. That could set the stage for development not only of inhibiting drugs but also of substances that switch on the enzyme--which might help combat degenerative diseases associated with...
...drugs, rock 'n' roll--she didn't have a clue, except it wasn't kosher. I know what's going on. But saying, no, no, no--I saw that wasn't going to work. No, no, no meant yes, yes, yes. They have to do it to set themselves apart from their parents...
...apart from going jogging with CHELSEA--wearing a T shirt given to him by a 16-year-old Israeli boy who's terminally ill--and fitting in a little golfing, Clinton used much of the time for that great solitary pursuit, reading. He delved into Snow in August by Pete Hamill and The Heat Is On by Ross Gelbspan, while Hillary read best seller The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger. And after all that, there was still time to admire the "very lovely sculpture" that Toiv announced Hillary got Bill for his birthday. Sometimes a vacation is just a vacation...
...saga reignites old concerns aboutwhether the government, apart from issuing warnings about cooking meat properly (160[degrees] for a standard patty), does enough to ensure food safety. Nicole Schlegelmilch got sick in early July, but, her mother Ann complains, "I didn't hear from the health department until Aug. 9." And the hospital epidemiologist said Nicole's illness was the first the hospital knew of an E. coli outbreak--although it had been several weeks since that suspect patty was turned in by the first victim. Why did officials take so long to interview E. coli victims, and why didn...
...thousands of vehicles driving every which way on the roadless flats of Black Rock Desert. The karma of mayoring such a bohemian city was more than they bargained for. But Larry Harvey, a visionary in the classic sense of the word, is undaunted. "They told us it would fall apart at 1,000 people," he says. "Then at 5,000. But we could have a million people and still make it a positive, uplifting experience...
