...farms in Kansas and South Carolina that lie as graveyards to unpaid mortgages. Everybody seems to know everything everywhere. The television news displays a riot in an overcrowded Tennessee prison, a newly discovered poem by Shakespeare, an earthquake in Mexico, a bombing in Libya, starvation in Africa, a dinosaur bone...
Collagen, which is used in cosmetic creams, is a natural protein found in connective tissue, including the skin and bone. The injectable variety, developed by the Collagen Corp. of Palo Alto, Calif., is derived from the hides of cows. In a typical treatment, the collagen is inserted just under the skin in a series of ten to 15 shots.

Nevertheless, this erratic chef has a talent for simple dishes, among them lobster gazpacho, warm duck salad with turnip pancake, chopped lamb steak au poivre, T-bone steak cowboy style, a luscious warm vegetable stew and a fragrant polenta pound cake with Madeira cream...

A liver cell has the instructions necessary to grow hair, for example, and a bone cell to transmit information as a nerve does. The reason these things do not happen is that the instructions -- the genes -- are switched on only under very specific conditions. If researchers can fuse the firefly gene to specific plant or animal genes, they will be able to monitor the "expression...
