...Apart from his philosophical disinclination to build behemoths, it is hard to imagine Holl producing anything so large that he could not personally fret over every detail. The walls he designed for one apartment, for instance, tilt for arcane aesthetic reasons at precisely 4 degrees. Given the chance, Holl designs not just a building but also its custom chairs, custom lighting fixtures, custom rugs, custom windows and custom door handles. His signature gesture, geometric figures imprinted onto everything from windows to tableware in a kind of new-age homage to Johannes Kepler, can seem the impulse of a meticulous craftsman...
Fundamental to the genius of DNA is the fact that A and T are mutually attractive, as are C and G. Consequently, when DNA separates during cell division, coming apart at the middle of each rung like a zipper opening, an exposed T half-rung on one side of the ladder will always attract an A floating freely in the cell. The corresponding A half-rung on the other section of the ladder will attract a floating T, and so on, until two double helixes, each identical to the original DNA molecule, are formed...
Working with family pedigrees and DNA extracted from the cell bank, White and his group have identified more than 1,000 markers, each about 10 million base pairs apart, on all the chromosomes. They have also been major contributors to the Center for the Study of Human Polymorphisms, set up in Paris by French Nobel laureate Jean Dausset to coordinate an international effort to map the genes. Of the 40 families whose cell lines reside in CEPH's major data banks, 27 have been provided by White's group...

...Carlos Andres Perez warned Venezuelans that hard times were ahead for their heavily indebted, oil-exporting country. Even he had no idea how hard -- or how soon. Last week the citizens of one of Latin America's most stable democracies were in shock after a social explosion that tore apart downtown Caracas, the capital, and shattered the peace in at least 16 other cities. Government-imposed austerity measures had ignited a three-day free-for-all of rioting, looting and killing that left an estimated 300 people dead, 2,000 injured and another 2,000 in jail...
