...potency, and positive research over the potential of a genetic solution -- and a study published on Friday in the journal Science was bound to catch attention. The work of researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara, the study revealed that removing or inactivating a gene called DAM in a certain strain of salmonella disabled the bacteria?s ability to cause disease in mice. The altered bacteria also went on to act like a vaccine, apparently activating the mouse?s immune system to make antibodies. The group?s research, says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman, underscores "a new push...

HYDROELECTRIC DAMS Dams hurt baby fish by slowing down water, which raises its temperature and increases the time it takes the young to get to the ocean. Others are killed by hydroelectric turbines before they can even start downstream. Adult fish swimming upstream often fail to make it over the dam, as staircase-like "fish ladders" prove only partly effective. Some dams must be redesigned; others should be removed...
...their language: "The next time I visited Tarvis, I drank the neck and shoulders out of a fifth while he talked." But Tarvis commits suicide in an elaborate, pop-novel way. Another man, a trucker, picks up a woman in a bar, is later arrested for dynamiting a dam, still later learns that the woman, for murky reasons, blew up the dam. Not much of this is convincing, and the author, a gifted realist, needs to look again at real lives...
...once dreamed of taming the Yangtze, China's longest river, whose floodwaters have claimed the lives of millions. Officials expect this $24 billion dam to corral the river, giving their nation a great leap forward as it generates electricity for China's burgeoning cities and makes the river more navigable. But as with other great projects, there is controversy. Some see it as a disaster because it will endanger animal species, submerge ancient temples and drive 1.2 million people from their homes...
