...Europeans are making a false argument,? says TIME senior economic reporter Bernard Baumohl. The fact is, reports Baumohl, that no country in the world is as advanced as the U.S. in the field of biotechnology. The Europeans are at least five years behind in developing a state-of-the-art expertise. ?They are worried the U.S. may have a distinct advantage at producing superior agricultural and meat products,? he says, ?and that they will lose a big market share.? The latest Agricultural Department move is unlikely to soften European opposition immediately. But at the very least, it promises to expose...
...Portable state-of-the-art medical equipment, sophisticated planes and modern computer links have made this medical mission possible," says TIME senior writer Jeffrey Kluger, "but it is only the intrepidness of the jet crew and the woman that will make it work." The woman, in particular, faces huge challenges. If a biopsy is called for, says Kluger, "she may have to do things herself that would make anyone skittish."

These are the trappings of America's high-end art culture at the end of the century: spectacle is required. You go to the U.S. pavilion expecting a little extra wattage and buzz...
...mood is never dour. Nearly every track has the liquid warmth of a freshly shed tear. This 28-year-old pianist is a wonder at weaving together musical traditions. On his last album, playing in a trio, he performed a moving jazz rendition of a song by the art-rock group Radiohead; on this CD, playing solo, he smoothly merges jazz improvisation with classical piano. A few of the tracks search for meaning and melody, but on songs like Resignation, Mehldau achieves an almost spiritual resonance, chords echoing like amens...
