...navigated the 23 pairs of human chromosomes in their search for various genes -- not always sure which landmarks to trust or how far away the goal was. The hunt will now be easier, thanks to last week's announcement that an international team of scientists, led by Dr. Daniel Cohen at the Center for the Study of Human Polymorphism in Paris, has produced the first full-fledged -- if still rough -- map of the human genome. "This is a major step forward," says David Ward, a Yale geneticist who has been analyzing the map for errors. "It's a first pass...
That's why Cohen's new map will come in handy. To produce it, his group sliced many sets of chromosomes into thousands of segments and put each piece into a yeast cell. The cells then made thousands of copies of every piece of the human DNA. By studying different possible arrangements, Cohen's computerized machines were able to figure out the positions of a whole list of common markers as well as the proper order of the pieces...
...with the day-to-day operations of the museum, we would like to show our support for the initiatives taken by the committee and particularly for Professor Stager. The changes being implemented can only improve interactions between the Semitic Museum and the Harvard community. Aaron J. Brody Susan L. Cohen David R. Lipovitch Todd K. Sanders
...this bourgeois Christmas Eve gathering, social dancing -- the children and their parents together -- fosters this gentle civilizing process. Later the young protagonist Marie (Jessica Lynn Cohen) has a dream touched off by her naughty kid brother Fritz, who breaks her favorite new toy, a nutcracker. The dream starts as a nightmare: the family's Christmas tree grows to alarming proportions; huge mice scuttle threateningly around her until they are conquered by a newly potent nutcracker (Culkin), who is then transformed into an angelic, pink-suited prince. Thereafter the dream becomes a cotton-candy fantasy as the prince escorts Marie...
...Colorado, warns, "The rights makers are like children with toys, so delighted and entranced by them they want more and more, heedless of the consequences." Consider lookism, as the practice of preferring the pretty over the plain is called in rights jurisprudence. In the Harvard Law Review, Adam Cohen of the American Civil Liberties Union argues that ugly people need to be protected against discrimination too. Cohen says, "People don't realize how pervasive the preference for the beautiful is in our society, starting with teachers who give attractive children better grades." And he adds, "There is nothing wrong with...
