...MacGregor believes can reach markets worth $3.8 billion. The NanoMuscle, which costs less than $1 to make, qualifies as nanotech, the company says, because of the size of its nitinol crystals, not the wire or motion. MacGregor compares his product to $40-to-$100 small motors made by potential competitor RMB, of Biel-Bienne, Switzerland. Hasbro, a major investor in MacGregor's start-up, expects to deliver its first nano-powered toys by Christmas 2003. NanoMuscle's challenge, like InMat's, will be to stay afloat long enough to sign companies on as clients...

Many challenges remain. In addition to ethical and intellectual property rights issues, scientists are still some way from understanding or controlling the processes whereby cells differentiate...

In addition to promoting decreased class sizes and the importance of attracting talented teachers, Reich has been outspoken about the need for statewide, full-day kindergarten—a welcome change from Acting Governor Jane Swift, who recently vetoed a $28 million state initiative to help local school districts pay for full-day kindergarten...
...woman credo by dramatizing a series of debates that approach The O'Reilly Factor in feistiness. In a skit between songs, a homegirl who ascribes Eve's Grammy win to luck is accused of wearing a rusty nipple ring. On the track Double R What, Eve dismisses a musical competitor with "I'm like a glass; you just a coaster, bitch...
