...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...

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.

...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...
