Officials of the Massachusetts and Washington programs see such criticism as % unfounded. The programs, they say, are designed only to create jobs. If new competition is the by-product, the officials contend, what right-thinking capitalist can argue with that? And while starting a business cannot be a cure-all for U.S. joblessness, it offers at least some out-of-work Americans an opportunity to trade an unemployment check for a paycheck...
...mill, garden variety stars, and planets are a natural by-product of star formation, and planets like Earth should be numerous," he says. "We're finding many complex molecules in space... the conditions for biology are widespread. We infer that since animals have evolved here, life could be a common phenomenon, just like stars. There should be hundreds of sites...
Both types tell the same sort of story. Eberhart says that CUFOS isn't really sure what that means--it may be the result of real experience, or it may be a by-product of some undiagnosed psychological conditions within each group--but the MIT professor has an idea...

Further complicating his quest for pure knowledge, Ressler falls in love with Jeanette Koss, four years his senior, a married member of the Cyfer team. She gives him a present, a well-worn recording of the Goldberg...
...biological scissors that can snip DNA segments at precisely defined locations. That discovery in turn made possible recombinant- DNA technology, which spawned the multibillion-dollar biotechnology industry. And the laser, now the vital component of devices ranging from printers to compact disc players to surgical instruments, was a serendipitous by-product of research on molecular structure...
