Somewhere around Savannah, you begin to smell it. You peel yourself out of the car for a Mountain Dew while the gas man pumps it full of unleaded, and it grabs you like a Dick Butkus bear-hug. You smell it, you taste it, and then you feel it: summer is coming--you are going to Florida...
...deter the scientific mind from probing into the unknown any more than Canute could command the tides." What both the public and scientists can do is to ensure that this insatiable inquisitiveness is channeled to serve the common good. So far, the proud record of gene splicers seems to bear out the hope that it will...
Test scores of the 450 pupils dramatically bear out Fitler's success. Less than 50% of Philadelphia's pupils reach or surpass the national median on standardized tests in reading, math and language skills; at Fitler, 81% do so.

For example, buyers of Oldsmobile Cutlass Supremes and Buick Regals will get $700 back-$400 from GM and $300 from the dealer. Ford's rebate plan, which ranges from $610 for a Fairmont to $1,769 on the four-door Mark VI, is similar...
