In New Mexico, for example, 6,238 Medicaid recipients have family members or friends providing basic, nonmedical care for them at a fee of $9 an hour, says Crystal Mata, manager of the program for the state's human-services department. Nearly 60% of those receiving care are 65 or older. Caregivers are required to take 12 hours of training each year, including CPR and first aid. The training is provided by 107 social-service agencies in the state, says Suzette Lindemuth, director of Senior Living Systems, a Los Lunas, N.M., personal...

...Naples, Italy, in the spring of 1951, Watson happened to sit in on a lecture by Maurice Wilkins of King's College, London, who was using X-ray diffraction to try to understand the physical structure of the DNA molecule. When you shine X rays on any sort of crystal--and some biological molecules, including DNA, form crystals--the invisible rays bounce off atoms in the sample to create complex patterns on a piece of photographic film. In principle, you can look at the patterns and get important clues about the structure of the molecules that make up the crystal...
