Unlike DNA, however, RNA has no built-in proofreading mechanism to fix mistakes in the replication process. Most of these don't amount to anything, but every once in a while an error may make the microbe more infectious. Beyond that, says Dr. Robert Webster, chief of virology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., "when a virus comes across to a new host, what does a virus do? It varies like crazy...
...laughing at a cop stomping a teenage triad to the brink of death, which To plays for slapstick), PTU is a refreshing subversion of an entire Hong Kong genre of films that seek easy heroism in rogue cops out for justice and sharply dressed gangsters who live by the code. In PTU there is no code?and less justice. A bit like real life...
