Despite Goldin's caution about assuming the existence of Earthlike planets, few astronomers doubt they are out there. If other solar systems do contain Earthlike worlds, says NASA exobiologist Michael Meyer, at least some should fall into the "habitable zone"--the region, governed by a planet's distance from its star, where water is liquid rather than solid or gaseous. "The good news," he says, "is that if our solar system is typical, there's a 50% chance that a planet will be in the right zone...

Could a lack of nitric oxide help explain violent impulses in humans? Scientists caution against making facile comparisons. But they are watching the mad mice of Baltimore closely, looking for clues to treating similar behavior in humans...
