There's a human liver sitting in a lab dish in Madison, Wis. Also a heart, a brain and every bone in the human body--even though the contents of the dish are a few cells too small to be seen without a microscope. But these are stem cells, the most immature human cells ever discovered, taken from embryos before they had decided upon their career path in the body. If scientists could only figure out how to give them just the right kick in just the right direction, each could become a liver, a heart, a brain...
Speaking of cattle, it's pre-frosh season. Fold out those futons and bone up on the history of the Science Center; they're back. Judging by the anal-retentiveness of this year's potential admits (e.g. one high schooly Thayer guest allegedly broke out the custom-made business cards as an icebreaker), the class of '03 will likely cause a mad rush for ArtCarved's "Epic" line...

...else fails, there are effective medical treatments. Allergy shots are good at desensitizing patients to grass, tree and weed pollens. Prescription-strength drugs like antihistamines and inhaled corticosteroids damp down the allergic response. (Caution: long-term use of corticosteroids may lead to changes in the bone, especially in children, and an increased risk of cataracts in adults.) So if you feel as though you've had a cold all winter long, have your doctor run a few allergy tests to see if you need something more than chicken soup...
...dead weight of the past lay across him like a toppled statue," a dejected cop reflects blearily, well short of the end of Robert Harris' new thriller. He could be speaking for Russia. Our cop is bone tired, trying to track the lurching progress of Fluke Kelso, an academic who has dug up the diary of Stalin's last days. The failing dictator got a woman pregnant, the papers suggest, and she may have returned to Archangel, her home in the north. Kelso and a TV reporter head up there, followed by the cop, followed by military thugs. What they...
