...muppet, makes you believe the oldest myth of cinema: that the magic is real, that movie people in person are as delightful, as bigger-than-life, as they are on the giant screen. Thus the truest compliment to pay his movies--those tangy, nourishing stews of bent men and brave women, of comedy and melodrama, passion and grief--is to say they are every bit as beguiling as he is. And the only thing to say about his new film, All About My Mother, is that it is even better: the most mature and satisfying work in a glittering, consistently...

VEGF2, for example, is a synthetic gene that makes a protein that in turn stimulates new vessel growth. In a few years, predicts William Haseltine, the biotech industry's champion optimist and CEO of Human Genome Sciences, based in Rockville, Md., we will have genetically based drugs for almost every serious ailment--"things we couldn't really work on well before, whether it's osteoporosis or Alzheimer's." Nor will these drugs simply attack symptoms, as aspirin does. "That...
