...Beltway underestimates Al and Tipper's very strong national following." Maybe so, but many big-and not-so-big-name Democrats are discovering that urgent matters demand their presence in states that happen to hold early presidential primaries. Even Gore's running mate seems to have got the bug: last weekend Senator Joe Lieberman's busy schedule in New Hampshire included an "informal street walk," a photo op with fire fighters and a "listening session with seniors."

...shooting viral DNA could someday replace traditional vaccines. Dr. Stephen Johnston, director of the Center for Biomedical Inventions at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, is using medicine's newfound skill at sequencing genomes to figure out precisely what genes express, or turn on, when a bug first enters a host's cells. Using microarrays, also known as "DNA chips," Johnston is working to identify those genes, then snip them from a pathogen's genome and use them, or the proteins they make, as vaccines to trigger an immune response...
