...down the protective nm23 gene. Soon she will squirt over these colonies newly identified antitumor compounds. Among them she hopes to find one, maybe more, that interferes with metastatic growth. A total of 14 of these compounds are already sitting in a freezer in her lab -- white crystals that cluster like snowflakes in the bottom of test tubes. If these fail to have an effect, Steeg has a list of more than 30 others that might. Like many cancer researchers, she conveys, through her own personal enthusiasm, a sense that an immense psychological barrier has been breached. No, Steeg...
Chishti said that the problem of illegal immigration might appear more serious than it is because immigrants tend to cluster in just ten major cities in six states...
Once killed, many tigers join the corpses of leopards, jackals and other animals in a grotesque procession by cart and truck that leads ultimately to a series of tenements along a narrow, filthy alley in Delhi's Sadar Bazaar. In one cluster of squalid apartments, the TRAFFIC sting operation discovered more than a dozen families engaged in the illicit wildlife trade. There the once magnificent animals are skinned, their prized parts dried and packaged, and their bones cleaned and bleached. The skins travel west, often ending up in the homes of wealthy Arabs, while the bones make their...
...suffers under the fetters of what The Crimson called "dead weight." However, by ignoring success stories like the Class of 1997 Formal, The Crimson portrays but part of the picture. The distribution of dead weight on the Council is far from random. In fact, it is concentrated in the cluster of members who served on last year's Council.

...upshot: 1993 seems headed for a gangbusters finish. Many revised forecasts for fourth-quarter growth cluster around 4%, up from 2.8% in the third quarter and only 1.9% in the spring. That pace would be just too fast to keep up, so output is likely to drop back in early 1994 -- but hardly as much as it did early this year. The consensus forecast is 3% in 1994, but a few brave souls are beginning to mutter 3.5%. Which would be no boom, but maybe something better: a pace that could be sustained for a long time, keeping incomes...
