...dish up Dirt, Lang and its publisher, Bobbie Halfin, rounded up an all- male staff on the West Coast. The editor in chief is Mark Lewman, 24, a.k.a. Lew. He and Dirt's art director, Andy Jenkins, 27, and photo editor, Spike Jonze, 21, got to know one another while working at Freestylin', a Los + Angeles-based bicycling magazine. Their own publication, Homeboy, which Lewman calls "a skateboard magazine with everything from dance techniques to recipes," folded after six issues, but the threesome had honed their skills. As for other qualifications, Dirt's introductory editorial points out that all three...
When he was a year old, Fred Tate could read the insignia on the back of a dish. At seven he is a displaced person, a brilliant adult mind imprisoned in second grade. In class he flummoxes his teacher with complex answers to simple questions. (Q. Which of the numbers one through nine can be divided by two? A. All of them.) On the schoolyard asphalt he draws elaborate Madonnas in colored chalk. But he can't catch a basketball without falling down, or fail to be oppressed by his genius. Seems Fred is a kid too, envying...
...University of Texas at San Antonio. Asch was trying to find a simpler way to do IVF, one that would not require the skills of an embryologist, when he hit upon the procedure he called gamete intra-Fallopian transfer, or GIFT. Rather than attempting fertilization in a Petri dish, he simply loaded the sperm and eggs (known to biologists as gametes) into a fine pipette and inserted them into the Fallopian tube, where he hoped they would take care of business by themselves. Not only did they fertilize, but they implanted as well -- at a much higher rate than...
...that has been pretty roughly treated, first by various hormone treatments, then by the egg-retrieval procedure. In GIFT, by contrast, the embryo drifts quietly into the uterus, much as it would naturally. To further improve the success rates, Asch's researchers tried fertilizing the egg in a lab dish and then placing the pre-embryo, or zygote, directly into the Fallopian tube -- a procedure known as ZIFT (zygote intra- Fallopian transfer...
...later use, but not eggs, which quickly lose their viability when manipulated outside the body. But Dr. Kwang Yul Cha, an endocrinologist at Cha Women's Hospital in Seoul, reports that his team has produced two pregnancies from eggs matured not in an ovary but in a Petri dish -- a major step in the eventual perfection of egg freezing. Many scientists expect that the procedure will be available within the next few years...
