...that. But by sidestepping the arduous regulatory process, Strobel fanned the fears of those who think genetically altered bugs might behave unpredictably in the wild, setting off an ecological catastrophe or disrupting local ecosystems. Most scientists consider the public's fears exaggerated, but they nonetheless acknowledge the need for caution. Says David Drahos, a senior research group leader at Monsanto, the giant chemical maker that is sponsoring the Clemson test: "We are all in the process of learning something very new and wanting to do it wisely and carefully...
Monday's frightening plunge in stock prices posed an immediate dilemma for the candidates: what to say and when to say it. Most Democrats erred on the side of caution, preferring not to be seen as gloating over the partisan advantage to be reaped from the economy's distress.

Lynda is a force of nature, whirlwinding through a seaside resort in the 1950s. She is one of those rare adolescents whose contempt for bourgeois caution is a kind of hormonal fire storm, too intense to be smothered by conventional explanation or even by unconventional sexual encounters. The most notable of these is with Eric (Tom Bell), who is old enough to be her father but not strong enough to be her mate. Or, in her estimation, the father of her child. Lynda's decision to have the baby may not qualify as a triumph of the human spirit...
