...often much closer than a museum-goer could ever be. On one spread we see butterflies or beetles arrayed by the dozen in a display drawer; the next might hold one or two of those specimens, captured with a macro lens at 10 or 20 times their size. If the artist on show here is Nature, the close-ups only increase one's awe. How many ways can you design the jaws of a beetle? How many possible patterns are there on a moth's wings? How can there be so many kinds of scales, from butterfly fuzzy to fish...

In the Islamic world, religion is out of the closet: on the streets, chanted five times daily from minarets, enshrined in constitutions, party...
...Merck vaccine used a different approach, called cell-mediated immunity. Scientists inserted three HIV genes into an ordinary cold virus and injected it into the body. Immune-system dendritic cells would, it was hoped, gobble up the virus and then display its gene markers--along with those of the HIV. This would teach the immune system's T cells to recognize and kill AIDS-infected cells...
...game is long--and science is patient. How an aids vaccine could work [This article contains a complex diagram. Please see hardcopy of magazine.] 1 A cold virus has been engineered to carry three synthetically produced HIV genes 2 Dendritic cells in the immune system absorb the virus and display the HIV gene product on their surface 3 T cells then learn to recognize those HIV markers on dendritic cells and become sensitized to them 4 Should a cell infected with the real AIDS virus present itself later, the cells are primed to attack it directly
...Hallion said. “Everything will begin there for us, but we recognize the importance of playing much better in the non-conference schedule than we did last year.” This year the team comes back with a more mature squad, which will display skill, patience, and leadership. “I would hope that we’re a little more veteran, so we play smarter,” head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said.
