Victor McKusick, a geneticist at Johns Hopkins University, was in the game much earlier. He has been cataloging genes since 1959, compiling findings in his regularly updated publication, Mendelian Inheritance in Man. In August 1987 he introduced an electronic version that scientists around the world can tap into by computer. At the end of December it contained information on all the 4,550 genes identified to date. Says McKusick: "That's an impressive figure, but we still have a long way to go." Several other libraries of genetic information are already functioning, among them GenBank at the Los Alamos National...

In August 1987, he shattered the 100-meter world record with a stunning 9.83-sec. performance at the Rome track-and-field championships, a feat that Francis claims was aided by an extensive anabolic- steroid program. But John Holt, general secretary of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, has said there are no grounds for nullifying the seemingly tainted record, because Johnson tested negative for the drugs after that key race. The Jamaican-born sprinter, 27, had no such luck after his 9.79 sprint in Seoul...
