...Agriculture Department team says that its production levels are a thousand times as high per bacterium as anything that has been done before. The scientists acknowledge that their vaccine is not a magic bullet against all seven major strains of foot-and-mouth disease.Each has a slightly different protein coat, and each will require a different vaccine. But they are optimistic that the critical proteins can be isolated and then reproduced through gene splicing. If so, in a few years effective new vaccines easily produced in large quantities may finally begin to eradicate this ancient agricultural scourge...

At a Cleveland Indians' home game against the New York Yankees, Voinovich showed up wearing a garish T shirt under his neat sports coat.

A combative New York City street kid who worked his way up, Campo is loud, untidy and embarrassingly blunt...
Early one morning last week, a crew of painters arrived at Barn No. 48 on the backstretch of New York's Belmont Park. They started to work, patching cracks in the walls of the cramped two-room office next to the stables and applying a fresh coat of paint to the weathered picket fence. "Just regular maintenance," a workman explained. Then he added, "Of course, the big horse always gets regular maintenance just before the big race...
