Amazingly, the average Harvard student--with a little training--can refer welfare mothers to various local health care insurance carriers, expounding on the relative benefits of Mass Health, MBC Healthnet, Boston Health Net and TAFCD (Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children, or what was once commonly known as welfare). I, on the other hand, can hardly identify my own health insurance carrier...

Privately, some Navy officials acknowledge that the military rationale for 50 attack submarines is dubious. After all, the Navy now assigns two attack subs to each deployed aircraft carrier, something it usually didn't do even during the most tension-fraught days of the cold war. "It's a dirty little secret," a Navy commander daringly argued in Proceedings, an independent Navy journal. "U.S. nuclear-powered attack submarines no more support the carrier battle group commander than wet roads support traffic safety...
...into a protein envelope. Using the tools of molecular biology, scientists render the virus harmless by deleting some or all of its genes, splicing the therapeutic gene into the remaining genetic material and, in a laboratory Petri dish, mixing it with human cells. The altered virus, now called a carrier or vector, can deliver the therapeutic gene into the nucleus with great dispatch...
...early gene-therapy trial for cystic fibrosis, inflammation caused by the viral carrier, an altered adenovirus, was so severe that the FDA ordered a halt to the effort, casting a pall over all the other trials--and the field in general. More problems plagued the researchers. In many cases the implanted genes failed to "turn on," or express themselves, and were unable to command the cells to produce the protein they were supposed to provide. Some operated for a while and then inexplicably shut down...
