...looks like he was born and bred in Cambridge, but that’s absolutely not true,” remarks New York University Economics Department Chair Mark Gertler, a longtime friend and colleague. “He was born and bred in Florida, and his brother is a country music star...
Furthermore, the Alabama-bred Davis has a particular kind of small town in mind--Southern, circa 1930, Edward Hopperesque--and he has assembled some remarkable architects to help realize the vision. Robert A.M. Stern is designing a beachfront hotel. Steven Holl will contribute a retail-office-and-apartment building. And Leon Krier, an influential architectural theorist who lives in London, plans to build a house for himself at Seaside next year--the first building of his quixotic career...

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...
