...addressing everything from educational TV, to gun sales to minors to the notion of asking school districts to require school uniforms, without actually asking Congress to fund new programs. Wednesday's topic du jour: free cell phones for neighborhood crime watch groups. The White House has announced that the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association will contribute 50,000 cell phones pre-programmed to dial 911, along with free cellular air time, to the nation's 20,000 community policing programs to help them combat crime. TIME Washington correspondent J.F.O McAllister that Americans can expect to see Clinton expanding his new tack...
...pleasure came from companionship. Most of our experiments lacked discernable practical goals. We followed our hunches, working with cancer viruses from chickens and mice, supported largely by grants from the NIH. Eventually, over many years, patterns emerged. We had learned that cancer genes in viruses are derived from normal cellular genes--some of the genes that guide our growth and development. These genes, now called oncogenes, undergo the mutations that are the defining events in cancer. Obscure viruses from experimental animals had in this way allowed us to touch directly the heart of human cancer. A path to understanding...
...messages today: the message that science can improve lives in ways that are elegant in design and moving in practice; that the Federal government, much maligned in current politics, can be a powerful force for public benefit; that the government can work productively with universities, where the cellular defect in cystinosis was studied, and with industries, where the new drug was manufactured; and finally, that progress in medical science occurs at a pace that may seem slow at the time to desperate parents, but astoundingly rapid in retrospect. Just consider: in the space of a generation, this lethal disease...
...enjoy the spectacle of power in its full amplitude these days, you have to go outside Washington altogether. It is in the globe-spanning fields of entertainment and communications, where mere governments are just so many obstacles to the corporate game plan, that you see power with all its cellular phones blazing. When Rupert Murdoch wants something--the Times of London, a fourth network, broadcast rights to N.F.L. games, his own 24-hour cable-news operation--he gets it with a panache that is as entertaining, and as chilling, as anything in Citizen Kane. If Machiavelli were alive today...
...snide denunciation usually reserved for dim-witted Hollywood moguls, not the sort of jab one would expect to find in a religious newspaper. But in the current issue of the National Catholic Reporter, columnist Tim Unsworth lambastes Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz as an incompetent cleric who has "been holding his cellular phone too close to his brain." What sparked the invective was Bruskewitz's move to excommunicate members of his diocese who belong to any of 12 groups deemed "perilous to the Catholic faith," including Call to Action, the Catholic lobby supported by 5,000 priests and nuns, which challenges church...
