Venter exudes confidence and points to TIGR's track record. Using the shotgun approach, his company has already sequenced the DNA of seven microorganisms, including the bacterium that causes ulcers. That number, he notes, represents half of all the genomes decoded to date. "The [human] genome will be accurately and completely covered," Venter promised the science subcommittee last week. And as proof he promised to sequence the genome of the fruit fly (which is far more complex than those of bacteria) within a year...
...outfox the immune system, however, doesn't mean it will always outmaneuver drug developers. Most drugs are very small molecules, much smaller than antibodies. Properly designed drugs might be able to infiltrate some of those crevices in HIV's outer walls. There's no guarantee that such an approach will work. But it's certainly easier to try when you have a picture in front of you showing you where to begin...
...funding for four more years of outdoor productions, though no operas have been set yet. Next January the stage will be moved indoors for a production of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music, starring Frederica von Stade. Several other opera houses have expressed interest in this new approach, and no doubt similar stages will soon be under construction. But the best thing about Houston's contemporary Carmen is not so much the modular stage, impressive though it is, as what Assaf has done with it. How do you get twentysomethings to fall for opera? The answer is the same...
...times Lamberth has been flinching at Klayman's scour-every-corner approach. Three weeks ago, he quashed a Klayman subpoena to New Yorker writer Mayer. Klayman was hoping to depose Mayer and obtain all her notes and source materials from the past six years, a give-me-every-word-you-ever-heard demand that sent alarms among journalists. Lamberth forbade the subpoena, saying the old material had no bearing on the heart of Klayman's lawsuit. "That's when Filegate began," is how Klayman explains it. "We wanted to see if she knew anything about Filegate...
...island from the mainland. Still, it could get even worse from their point of view. The platform of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party calls for "the establishment of a sovereign Taiwan Republic." But the straits crisis of 1996 sobered the party's leaders, and they are busy revising their approach, now saying they would hold off indefinitely on independence and use it as a defensive tool. If China became too threatening, the D.P.P. says, it would call a referendum on independence, then appeal to the world to recognize the new state of Taiwan and support the political will...
