...driven by a fierce longing to avenge her father's death. Amid charges of corruption, election-rigging and autocracy, the elder Bhutto was toppled from power in 1977 by Zia, who two years later authorized Bhutto's execution. "I told him on my oath in his death cell, I would carry on his work," Benazir Bhutto once said. In achieving victory by playing up her father's name and his strong populist appeal, she in effect vindicated his chaotic 5 1/2-year rule.

...assistant Hennesey, played by Gordon W.F. Vidaver, provides him little help. The way Miller and Vidaver play their parts, it is easy to understand how a particular mentally ill inmate can escape his cell so often...
While the Americans concentrated on the inner workings of the cell, Black focused on "docking ports" used by chemical messengers moving between cells.

Black's beta blocker is now widely used to treat heart disease and hypertension. Said Black with a laugh when he received the potentially overstimulating news: "I wished I had had my beta blocker handy...
...been able to unlock astonishing mysteries. Focusing on a bacterium that uses a simple method of photosynthesis, Michel concentrated on a cluster of proteins that spans the organism's outer membrane, called the photosynthetic reaction center. These so-called membrane-bound proteins are like plants themselves: antennae protrude from cell surfaces, anchors hold them in the membrane, and rootlike tentacles reach into the cell's interior. But the molecules resisted study...
...floors of the other, main cell swoop down through gentle ramps reminiscent of Wright's spiral in the Guggenheim Museum, hung above black water-filled moats. At each level are two tokonomas, large niches in which paintings from the Shin'enkan Collection can be hung. This collection is the core of the pavilion. It consists of some 300 screens and scrolls from the Edo period (1615-1868), assembled over the past 30 years by the Oklahoma collector Joe D. Price. In recent years, Price's collaborator has been LACMA's new curator of Japanese art, Robert T. Singer. The Shin...
