Watson begins his tale in the aftermath of his co-discovery of the structure of DNA. “The story starts when I was an unmarried 25-year-old and thought more about girls than genes. It is as much a tale of love as of ideas.” Quite an understatement there. Watson reports that there was “only one secretary to stare at” at the coffeehouse on the Caltech campus, that Pasadena “had the highest concentration of women over 60 than any other American city,” that...
...group of scientists from the U.S. and the Netherlands published a paper in the research journal Nature describing a molecular test they have developed that may predict, at the time of surgery, which cancers will be likely to metastasize--and therefore might benefit from chemotherapy. Using so-called DNA microarrays, the researchers analyzed some 25,000 genes from the breast cancers of 100 women. By winnowing the number of relevant markers to about 70 genes, they produced a DNA profile that correlated closely with the women's actual outcomes. "There's not much that stands in the way of this...
...DONE With microarrays, scientists can study patterns of gene activity using strands of cancer DNA and predict which tumors are likely to spread. The technique may someday be used to design customized treatments...
...most publishers will rework existing titles. TIME has introduced this Generations section for its mature readers. The January issue of Esquire offered interviews with such sages as John Kenneth Galbraith, 93, and Chuck Berry, 75. But not everything will change. Many magazines find it hard to "move off the DNA" that sets their fundamental tone, says Hale. That's why you may never see tips on hearing-aid fashion in Vogue...
...often says things like this to shock strangers. The truth is, no one looks like Ali. Smith is arguably the most likable movie star on the planet, but not even he possesses Ali's singular DNA pattern of beauty, grace and bravado. To make a movie about Ali - perhaps the most idolized, vilified and complex public figure of the 20th century - has been a high-wire act of both hubris and dedication. "For an African American, Muhammad Ali is the biggest role you could have. Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali and Nelson Mandela - with any of those roles comes a responsibility...
