...obeyed. Mainstream men's fashion is the business of defining those rules, marketing them and playing subtle little games with them. In the boardroom or the law office, such rules are not flouted, never mind broken. They are nudged gently. The fold of a handkerchief in the breast pocket of a suit jacket, the width of a stripe on a shirt, a print on a pair of bright suspenders: these are the permissible talismans of individuality.

Klein taught that the mother's breast, as feeder and comforter, is decisive in building the infant's ego and sets the stage for envy and jealousy. Problems of envy are inevitable, and if they are not resolved in infancy, problems of jealousy may develop later. Withholding the breast generates envy of the mother's power...

...understand better the genetic basis of cancer, Philip Leder, a molecular geneticist at the Harvard Medical School and his colleague Timothy Stewart, have bred a line of transgenic mice that may someday serve as a model for human breast malignancy. He designed a DNA hybrid consisting of a gene called c-myc, which has been implicated in animal and human cancer, linked to a regulatory segment of another gene that is expressed in developing and lactating breast tissue. Soon after female mice with the injected gene give birth and begin nursing, they grow sizable tumors in their breasts. Perhaps more...
