Susan Winckler, a spokesperson for the American Pharmaceutical Association says that even if the Missouri state board of pharmacy doesn't vote to revoke his license, she very much doubts he will just slide right back into his white coat when all this is over. "Nothing like this has ever happened before," Winckler says. "Pharmacists are bound by a code of ethics, and an oath - they?re bound to hold patients above everything...
Using an atomic force microscope and a quaint gadget called the laser tweezer, Bustamante found a way around such limits. The microscope reads the topography of molecules by trailing a fine needle over their surfaces--much as a phonograph reads the grooves of a record. Coat the needle with an appropriate chemical, however, and you convert it into a grapple for manipulating molecules. Laser tweezers, meanwhile, trap molecules and particles in a tightly focused beam of light. Move the beam and you move the object...
...floor-length cowboy coat ($184) is back with a reissued catalog and even grander designs on the future--although this time he won't be in a mad rush.

Dogs with large irregular patches and splotches are less prone, but prize-winning Dalmatians have small spots on a large expanse of white coat - the genetic characteristics that accompany deafness. All these diseases create distress to dogs and owners, and as Dogs Today editor Beverley Cuddy notes, "It's possible to rack up huge bills at the vet without much trouble, as dogs become more unhealthy."
