...mess over the gene chip. The RNA tightly binds only to its exact DNA complement on the chip. The fluorescent tag tells you where on the chip you have a match. Then you look up the sequence of each matched spot on the chip and read out a precise catalog of which genes are being expressed. By comparing the results from several patients--some of whom are more successful at fighting the virus than others--you may be able to identify targets that could lead to powerful new anti-AIDS drugs...
...days will be "First There Is a Mountain" -- both geographically and politically -- as the ICO Global balloon hovered high over the Himalayas and then briefly faced even more impenetrable obstacles from Chinese authorities, who finally relented and let them pass through their airspace. Today, continuing through the Donovan catalog, the theme song is "Catch the Wind" -- and have they ever: Now well ensconced in the jet stream over the Pacific Ocean, the balloon is moving eastward at speeds of up to 150 mph, which is the kind of time they'll need to make to reach Europe before their fuel...

Here is an old man's blind bitterness--"The Lord was wrathful with me on your account"--and here his prophetic dictate: "Justice, justice, shall you pursue, that you may thrive and occupy the land that the Lord is giving...
...quintessentially '80s design firm M&Co. and the editor of Benetton's Colors magazine, Kalman has created visuals that, whether pretentious or prophetic, snatch and hold the attention. Witness his "photos" of a black Queen Elizabeth II and of Ronald Reagan with AIDS. The only downside to this provocative catalog is that little in it is new, and Kalman's work relies on surprise. But there are worse ways to spend time than to dip into the mind of a self-professed "creative-lunatic...
