...current issue of Nature, a team of scientists based at M.I.T.'s Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research has finally managed to make human cells malignant--a feat they accomplished with two different cell types by inserting just three altered genes into their DNA. While these manipulations were done only in lab dishes and won't lead to any immediate treatment, they appear to be a crucial step in understanding the disease. This is a "landmark paper," wrote Jonathan Weitzman and Moshe Yaniv of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, in an accompanying commentary...

...then swaddled the endorsement in protestations that he wasn't telling the fiercely independent delegates how to vote. The room, which had sparked with applause at other points in the speech, went silent as Gargan sat in the last row staring at his shoes. I thought old Jack was done for, but Saturday there was a proliferation of Gargan buttons. Many of those who were undecided said the Body had won their vote...
