...four U.S. companies that make BST -- Monsanto, Eli Lilly, Upjohn and American Cyanamid -- are having trouble understanding why it is so controversial. They point out that BST is a natural hormone produced by a cow's pituitary gland and present in all milk. In fact, they assert, milk from BST-treated cows has no more BST than regular milk. The companies contend that BST injections would merely enable dairy farmers to produce the same amount of milk with fewer cows. "BST is about efficiency," asserts Monsanto spokesman Laurence O'Neill.

...needed. It means building storage tanks to withstand pressures and temperatures well above expected maximums. Adds Cox: "It's a process of calculating extremes, then designing beyond that." Every year the association reviews 1,200 engineering standards with an eye to making them sharper and tougher.

And in settlements with the American Cyanamid Co. and E.R. Squibb & Sons, both manufacturers agreed to report usage and pay royalties to the Copyright Clearance Center when they copy scientific research papers and texts. The royalties are then distributed to the publishers, who give "after the fact" authorization. N.Y.U. may come to a similar arrangement. But the A.A.P. did not negotiate with the university before bringing suit. The association...
