...Putnam provides us with a chance to relive those days--as Clifford Taubes points out in the article (News, April 9), the Putnam is the only college math competition, while there are many for high school students. We jump at the opportunity to recapture a part of our youth. Perhaps the word "pathetic" is inappropriate, but I was merely putting in a self-degrading quip. This phrase was in no way meant to refer to the persons who fall into the category "anyone interested in math...
Because of this, "in the two years in the past six where we didn't win, we would've won if we had picked a different team," said Professor of Mathematics Clifford H. Taubes...
...think it is pretty important that people are getting the right mental treatment," said Erin R. Clifford '01. "This is a good place to raise those kind of issues and get a good forum of discussing what we should be putting in peoples' bodies...

Until now. Researchers led by Dr. Clifford Steer at the University of Minnesota Medical School report in the current Nature Medicine that they have eliminated the need for viruses by harnessing the body's own genetic repair processes. In a landmark proof-of-concept experiment, the Minnesota team permanently altered a blood-clotting gene in 40% of the liver cells in a group of rats. The researchers started by splicing their DNA patch into a slip of RNA. Then they encased the hybrid molecule in a protective coating, laced it with sugars that seek out liver cells and injected...
