...time suggests that there may be still more viruses at large that can cause hepatitis. But the A, B and C viruses seem to cause the large majority of cases, and so researchers are confident that they can now almost eliminate the risk of contracting hepatitis from a blood transfusion...
...Feminist Majority. It is intended to counter The Silent Scream, a 1985 antiabortion film that shows a twelve- week-old fetus being swept from the womb. The new video depicts an actual abortion that lasts 84 seconds and shows two aborted embryos, amounting to about two tablespoons of blood and tissue. The point is to illustrate that what is removed during most abortions -- more than 90% are carried out in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy -- is not the near human figure of pro-life displays...
...images. Heads on pikes. Hungry mobs storming Versailles. Women knitting and jeering in front of the scaffold. Marat murdered in his bath. The zealous Saint-Just railing, "There is no liberty for the enemies of liberty!" And the battalions of Marseilles singing the nation's new anthem: "May the blood of the impure soak our fields...
...official strategy for evading an answer is to focus resolutely on the high-minded events of 1789, like the Declaration of Rights, with its ideals of liberty, equality, and the sovereignty of the people. As for the blood that flowed thereafter -- the September Massacres of 1792, the Terror of 1793, and the 1793-94 uprising of the Vendee in which 400,000 died -- the less said the better. The play-it-safe politics of the commemoration is aimed at creating at least the illusion of ideological harmony, the same strategy that has sparked Mitterrand's recent political success...
Scientists are also reaping rewards from 3-D visualization. By studying insulin molecules modeled on a computer, the Danish biotechnology firm Novo- Nordisk was able to create a synthetic insulin that did not clump when injected into the blood, an insight that cut three years off the usual eight- year research-and-development cycle for a new drug. By displaying weather data on a computer, researchers at the University of Illinois have been able to capture the exact moment when a tornado forms within a thunderstorm, a breakthrough that if incorporated into an early-warning system, could one day save...
