Camels with the Corvina. Latin Americans may differ on politics, on soccer stars, on blondes v. brunettes. But smuggling is the great leveler and common denominator. Domestic indus tries cannot supply the varied needs of the developing countries, and protective governments aggravate the shortages by slapping prohibitive tariffs on imports. The official purpose seems noble: to help fight inflation, make domestic goods more competitive, and generally steer economies along tried and proven channels. In the Dominican Republic duties average 70% of value; in Colombia they run up to 150% on some items, while Argentina charges 200% on such treasured goods...
...Increase. Hospital charges for each day of a patient's stay are suffering from what Harris calls galloping inflation. Experts differ on how severe the increase is statistically. But Harris argues that since 1948, however they are computed, hospital daily costs have gone up 2½ times as much as income after direct taxes, which is the best measure of the patient's ability to pay. By far the biggest factor in hospitals' rising costs has been salaries and wages -and, most surprisingly, it is the professional and nursing staffs that have taken most of the increase...
...molecules are made up of two very long strands connected to each other by hundreds of thousands of short submolecules, which are set in place like the rungs of a ladder. The rungs differ chemically, and the order in which they are arranged constitutes the genetic code that controls heredity. When DNA is heated in just the right way, the rungs break and the long strands separate. Though the strands are eager to recombine, they cannot do so unless their broken rungs are matched in perfect order...

Most top reviews come out eight times a year; all bristle with ferocious footnotes reflecting the most intense passion for precision. Beyond these similarities, the reviews differ in tone and emphasis. Samples...

Britain's Courtaulds also makes a similar material, which will not breathe but will hold moisture in an inner layer until the shoe is removed. All competing processes will have to differ substantially from Du Pont's, since the firm holds patents on just about everything but the word shoe...
