...Starr set aside his partisanship and conduct a fair investigation? Starr sees himself, above all else, as a public servant ready and willing to tackle the task at hand. "My job is to chop the wood that is before me to chop," he said in 1991. "I have a very keen sense that I am to do what I am called upon to do." Starr has been entrusted in the past with sensitive tasks such as reviewing the diaries of Bob Packwood for the Senate Ethics Committee.

Composed of long chains of DNA containing perhaps 100,000 genes, the human genome is far too vast to analyze all at once. So scientists use special enzymes to chop the chromosomes into small manageable pieces and pick out small identifiable stretches -- called markers -- on each segment. When researchers are searching for a disease gene, they look for a marker that is common to all people who suffer from that ailment. If one is found, then the defective gene is probably located somewhere near that marker. The problem is that although the gene hunters know where the marker is located...
