...case, the vast stores of Renaissance paintings in this city, defy casual study. The Uffizi Gallery contains one of Italy's largest collections of 14th and 15th century works--Botticini, Perugino Girlandaio, Albartonelli, Lippi, Uccello, and Roselli. No one hurries in the Uffizi, and some stand before a single painting, such as Botticelli's Pallade a il Centauro, for hours. Pallade, golden-haired and crowned with ivy, holds a centaur by the hair.

Despite his casual look, Herbert Wayne Boyer is a millionaire many times over, at least on paper. More important, he is in the forefront of a new breed of scientist-entrepreneurs who are leading gene splicing out of the university laboratory and into the hurly-burly of industry and commerce...
...Casual followers of the Carter administration probably have never heard of Eugene Eidenberg. The position he most recently held in the Carter White House, secretary of the cabinet and assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs, was not one of the administration's most prominent posts. But the tasks which Eidenberg, currently a fellow at the Institute of Politics (IOP), performed significantly affected several key political issues...
