Killer Films and New Line Cinema joined to give it a chance on the screen. "We thought it would be a really cool low-budget movie," says New Line's president of production, Michael DeLuca. "John said his inspiration [for the movie] was Bob Fosse, especially All That Jazz, and that was 100% on the right track." With a safe-bet budget of $5 million, Mitchell, 37, was allowed to star, write the screenplay and make his directorial debut. "I was bored with acting," explains the theater veteran, "and I had a lot of strong ideas I didn't want...

Household's stock sank 11 points in the aftermath of the March 26 announcement. Neither executive is accused of wrongdoing...
...initial impetus for the research came from a rather oblique direction. UCSD Biochemist Marlene DeLuca has been investigating for 20 years how the firefly protein -- in this case, an enzyme called luciferase -- produces light. But the process of collecting and grinding up fireflies to extract the enzyme was laborious and costly. She and Donald Helinski, a molecular geneticist, decided to isolate the luciferase gene, cloning exact copies of it and splicing it into the genetic machinery of the common bacterium E. coli. The E. coli could then massproduce luciferase by the vat. DeLuca and Helinski accomplished this task by using...
...kind of mushroom that is not snow white, cellophane wrapped and supermarket sanitized. In the past few years, however, the succulent edible fungi that grow wild for the picking in almost every part of the country have found ever increasing acceptance in restaurant and home menus. At Dean & DeLuca, a Manhattan gourmet emporium that sells up to 100 Ibs. of fresh domestic wild mushrooms a week, Produce Purchasing Manager Lee Grimsbo notes, "People are beginning to think of them as a cooking item rather than something exotic." Patrick Terrail, owner of Hollywood's Ma Maison restaurant, had been importing...
...suggests there is some risk. For example, reports have linked drinking 1 oz. of alcohol a day to low birth weights and 2 oz. a week with an increased risk of spontaneous abortions. Findings such as these were enough to prompt the Surgeon General's warning. Says John DeLuca, director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism...
