Based in Palo Alto, it gives campaign donations in roughly equal proportions to Republicans and Democrats and serves as a clearinghouse for information and policy proscriptions about the new economy.

...Chuck wasn't very happy with the work or the management turnover at American Cyanamid, and last year he returned full time to his true calling--"to make venom widely available for research."

Spiders are everywhere, he says, and you never know which one will lead to a scientific or medical breakthrough...
